Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mechanical machining or cutting, as a subtractive manufacturing operation, is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes. High-performance machining has attracted more and more attention in recent years as it can evaluate the machining process comprehensively. In particular, for the functional machined surfaces of mechanical components, such as load-carrying and frictional surfaces, the machining process has crucial effects on the service performance of the components themselves and even entire working systems. Extensive research involving experiments, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation of the machining process has been conducted to understand the interaction between cutting tools and workpiece materials. The research outcomes can promote steady progress of the machining performance through the optimization of process planning and advancement of cutting tools and machining equipment.
With the rapid development of advanced engineering materials, such as high-strength alloys and ceramic matrix composites, these have caused new challenges in the field of machining due to their difficult-to-process attributes. In addition, the working conditions of machined surfaces are becoming more extreme, due to higher stress and strain, higher temperatures, more severe altering loadings, and more corrosive environments. To reveal the relationships among “workpiece material property-machining process-machined surface integrity-component functionality” it is important to achieve high production rates and the demanded surface quality, which can then lay a foundation to promote machining performance.
The scope of this Special Issue embraces original research and review articles in the field of high-performance machining of difficult-to-process materials. Manuscripts will be welcomed that aim to understand the machinability of different materials, modelling and simulation of material removal behavior, exploring the machined surface integrity and functionality, advancing the machining process and cutting tools, and mapping the relationships of “material property-machining process-surface quality and performance”.
