Call for papers: "Advanced Surface Engineering in Manufacturing Processes"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Surface Science and Engineering.

Advanced surface engineering has been widely applied in different industrial sectors. Recent developments in surface integrity, surface treatment or modification, micro/nano-structure fabrication, surface grinding and polishing, metrology on micro/nano patterns, thin film deposition or coating and analysis of advanced machining are highly related to manufacturing processes.

This special issue will provide a forum for scholars, researchers and engineers to present recent research exploring the challenges and/or surmounting difficulties in advanced surface engineering in manufacturing processes.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 16th Internatioal Conference on Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies (AMPT 2013), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Surface integrity
  • Surface treatment/modification
  • Surface grinding/polishing
  • Surface metrology
  • Micro/nano-structure fabrication
  • Multiscale tribology
  • Thin film deposition/coatings
  • Advanced manufacturing processes
  • Analysis of advanced machining
  • Advanced materials processing

Important Dates

Submission of manuscripts: 29 December, 2013
Notification to authors: 31 January, 2014
Final versions due: 15 March, 2014
