Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, requirements regarding machining accuracy have increased, and engineers are forced to consider also increasing cost efficiency; time and energy saving; as well as processing and post-processing environmental issues. Additional issues are related to new advanced materials (usually difficult-to-cut materials) that need to be machined. To satisfy all these requirements, there is a need to fabricate cutting tools of enhanced strength, thermal stability and durability, produced with greener technologies and which are easily recyclable. Thus, there is a scientific and commercial interest in obtaining an in-depth understanding of fabrication processes for cutting tools, their structure formation at micro- and nanoscale, and their further characteristics. In this context, this Special Issue of Machines invites high-quality research papers related to the topic of cutting tools, in particular:
- Energy- and resource-saving technologies for cutting tools fabrication;
- Powder metallurgy, including the synthesis of starting powders designed for the sintering of cutting inserts;
- Development of new materials for cutting tools, including ceramics, cermets, composites, etc., including machinery for their manufacturing;
- Theoretical and experimental research on process-dependent structure formation at micro- and nanoscale;
- Surface engineering methods for cutting tools;
- Characterization of cutting tools performance (durability, cutting accuracy, surface integrity, wear mechanisms, etc.);
- Environmental issues such as EoL (end of life), sustainability, avoidance of pollution, and energy and resource efficiency.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
