Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green manufacturing with low environmental load and high resource efficiency has become the mainstream manufacturing mode respected at present. As an important embodiment of green manufacturing, dry cutting is a manufacturing technology with broad prospects. As per the adage that “if you want to do well, you must first sharpen your tools”, dry cutting tools are the key to realizing dry cutting operations. In recent years, the design of dry cutting tools has seen rapid progress based on innovative tool materials, tool coating, as well as tool structure optimization. Some novel cutting tools are proposed, such as surface texturing tools, internal cooling tools, self-lubricating tools, heat-pipe-assisted cooling tools, and so on. However, the tool life for dry cutting is still a severe challenge, especially for high-speed machining of difficult-to-cut materials. In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions for dry cutting tools. Articles are invited which contain theoretical and experimental studies on the design and application of dry cutting tools, including but not limited to:
- Innovative tool materials for dry cutting;
- Coating for cutting tools (PVD, CVD, and ALD);
- Surface texturing cutting tools;
- Heat-pipe-assisted cooling for dry cutting;
- Mechanisms for heat dissipation and tool wear in dry cutting process;
- Intelligent monitoring for cutting 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. Micromachines 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.
