Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of high-performance machining integrates several important factors, including high productivity, high surface quality and long tool-life into a unique evaluation system, which is extremely interesting to the machining community. To reach this goal, requirements related to two aspects should be satisfied: 1) to understand the mechanisms behind material removal in order to optimize cutting parameters and obtain high-quality products; and 2) to develop reliable equipment toward stable machining conditions in order to provide high productivity and quality. Both aspects are essential for the final outputs. Although plenty of work has been done in this area, some matters are still unclear. Especially following the rapid development and application of new materials and technologies in production, some new challenges have also appeared. Therefore, more efforts should be devoted to exploring the in-depth mechanisms of machining processes and developing advanced equipment to meet the rapidly increasing demands.
This Special Issue aims to provide original research on high-performance machining processes, toward promoting the in-depth understanding of machining mechanisms and helping to develop novel equipment. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Conventional and non-conventional machining processes;
- Machining of difficult-to-cut materials;
- Material removal mechanisms and surface integrity;
- Tool wear mechanisms;
- Design of cutting tools;
- Machine tool dynamics and machining dynamics;
- Machine tool design and precision control;
- Adaptive control and process monitoring of machining processes;
- Precision retention of machining equipment.

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. Processes 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.
