Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid changes in the market, the requirements for the performance of high-end equipment have become increasingly stringent. In the current manufacturing field, manufacturing enterprises face difficulties with the key parts of high-performance processing technology in high-end equipment such as aircraft, rockets and new energy vehicles. The operating environment of the key parts of high-end equipment is getting increasingly harsher, making their dimensional deviation and surface integrity requirements more stringent. High-performance machining, advanced machining technology, condition monitoring, surface integrity, interface tribology, surface macro- and micro-characteristics, etc., directly or indirectly affect the service life of the parts of high-end equipment. For example, machining vibration signals, acoustic emission signals, cutting force and thermal signals, power, current, voltage, etc., have a regular mapping relationship with surface wear morphology, friction peak value, roughness, stress, and crystal structure changes. Through the mapping of relationships, coupling problems among process parameters, process monitoring, and service life can be explored. This Special Issue will mainly focus on analyses of multi-source signal processing, the wear mechanisms of high-performance machined surfaces, and the surface wear characteristics of difficult-to-machine materials; it will also focus on analyses of a variety of macro- and micro-mechanism problems in high-performance machined surfaces from a tribological point of view. These studies will not only provide solutions for controlling the full-cycle production quality of high-end products but also solve multi-factor traceability problems that affect high-performance processing. These findings will not only provide a rich scientific basis for high-end-product manufacturers and researchers but also analytical means for research on the friction and wear mechanisms of high-performance machined surfaces. At the same time, it is hoped that this Special Issue will be significant in guiding the research of high-performance machining and surface wear in the future.
