Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled “Non-Conventional Machining: Materials and Processes", will mainly focus on ensuring a deep understanding of the development needs of the manufacturing industry and an accurate grasp of future development trends. Through continuous exploration and innovation, non-traditional processing methods will play an increasingly important role in the field of material processing, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.

Taking into account the current directions of manufacturing development, Industry 4.0 should, in particular, be provided for, as should the tendency to boost the efficiency and effectiveness of machining, thus reducing production costs and the harmful impact on the environment.

This Special Issue will present novel scientific papers related to non-conventional machining, both in terms of the materials used and the process itself, as well as coordinate metrology.

Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Conventional and non-conventional machining;
  • Recent developments in machining;
  • Physical phenomena in machining process;
  • Cutting tool performance;
  • Manufacturing of thin-walled elements;
  • Trends in coordinate metrology;
  • Machining of engineering materials;
  • Machining of difficult-to-cut materials;
  • Machining efficiency and quality after cutting;
  • Optimization of the machining process;
  • Experimental and simulation research in the field of machining;
  • High-speed machining: high-speed cutting, and high-performance cutting;
  • Recent developments in additive manufacturing;
  • Assessment of machinability indicators;
  • Application of CAD/CAM in machining;
  • Development in Industry 4.0.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Magnesium alloys are an important group of materials that are used in many industries, primarily due to their low weight. Constantly increasing quality requirements make it necessary to improve the accuracy of manufactured products. In this study, the precision milling process for AZ91D and AZ31B magnesium alloys was investigated, and the results obtained with uncoated and TiB2-coated end mills were compared. The impact of variable cutting parameters was also investigated. Specifically, the study focused on the dimensional accuracy of the machined parts. The results showed that even though the dimensional accuracy obtained in milling both magnesium alloys was comparable, it was higher in the case of the AZ31B alloy by up to 22%. The study also demonstrated that the use of the TiB2 coating did not have the desired effect and that higher dimensional accuracy up to 27% was obtained with the uncoated tool. Full article
