Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Machining processes are integral parts of industrial production and play a pivotal role in the manufacturing of versatile, aesthetic, reliable, and durable products. Future trends have imposed the need to develop and implement eco-friendly manufacturing operations and energy-efficient technologies while ensuring sustainability and high quality. The different machining processes adhere to important principles that are still investigated by researchers worldwide and involve a significant number of technological parameters as well as constraints. Recent achievements in product design, process modeling and simulation, materials science, and CNC programming/control have led to remarkable enhancements in efficiency, quality, and flexibility.
This Special Issue aims to provide a reference for the exchange of scientific knowledge related to machining processes, recent technological advances, and the high-quality research attributes of modern manufacturing technology. By collecting and highlighting a diverse body of dignified contributions, this Special Issue will present an in-depth understanding of the latest research aspects regarding manufacturing automation, machine intelligence, hybrid manufacturing, machinability of materials, and machining process sustainability.
Research Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
CNC machine tools; machining strategies optimization; advances in conventional and nonconventional material removal operations; software integration; precision machining; and surface integrity.

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.
