Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The control of machining is critical to the quality of the final product, while the evaluation of advanced manufacturing processes becomes more challenging. The performance of machining can be evaluated through several aspects. In situ parameters including force, temperature, and tool wear indicate whether the machining is conducted within an allowable range of equipment. Force and temperature in shear zone are the results of both mechanical and thermal loads. Moreover, tool wear describes the gradual failure of cutting tools due to regular operation. Residual stress and surface roughness reflect the machining process and are directly related to the fatigue performance and surface quality of the product. Surface roughness characterizes the surface texture in terms of deviations. Residual stress is created under mechanical load, thermal gradient, and phase change, which significantly affects the damage tolerance and fatigue performance of the product.
To date, most related studies have been carried out using numerical analysis or experimental investigation. The analytical approach is able to reveal the physics nature in the process within a short computation time. This includes forward analysis by predicting machining parameters (force, temperature, etc.) under given conditions and inverse analysis by predicting machining conditions under desired parameters.
For this Special Issue in Metals, we welcome reviews and articles regarding analytical modeling of various parameters in advanced manufacturing processes.

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. Metals 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 2600 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.
