Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is critical to understand the fundamental mechanisms during the metal machining process. Machining parameters, tool geometries, and metal microstructure all have significant effects on the dynamics of velocity, deformation, stress, and temperature in shear zone. The physics-based analysis and predictive model on shear straining, thermal kinematics, and material constitutive relation can help to comprehend the coupling effects between thermal and mechanical loadings and the related materials behavior evolutions. Metal microstructure changes in machining include recrystallization, grain growth, crystallization evolution, and phase transformation. The machining process is significantly influenced by the material microstructure as the tool cutting through grain boundaries. In return, microstructure of metal keeps changing during the machining process. Therefore, the microstructure changes and machining process are affected iteratively. It is necessary to understand this mechanism to better predict the machining process.
For this Special Issue in Metals, we welcome reviews and articles regarding modeling and applications of microstructure change and mechanism during the metal machining process.

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.
