Formerly: Journal of Mechanical Working TechnologyThe Journal of Materials Processing Technology covers the processing techniques used in manufacturing components from metals and other materials. The journal aims to publish full research papers of original, significant and rigorous work and so to contribute to increased production efficiency and improved component performance.Areas of interest to the journal include:Casting and formingAdditive processing and joining technologiesMaterial removal processesProcessing for surface engineeringEvolution of material properties and functionality caused by different processing conditionsDesign and behaviour of equipment and toolsThe core interest of the journal is the processing of metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and other advanced materials, where the article is focused on the influence of the process on the materials and where there are not other more appropriate dedicated journals. For example, ductile forming of polymers is of interest, but the influence of polymer composition on properties is well covered in dedicated polymer journals.A typical article will examine the influence of process design, tool design, or process operating conditions on the properties of the material or the future performance of the equipment. Most articles combine appropriate quantitative analysis with well-designed experiments. The sciences of materials, tribology and thermodynamics are well covered in other dedicated journals, so these topics are of interest to this journal only when applied specifically to give insight into the processing techniques used in manufacturing components.The journal's Editorial Policy defines our basis for considering submissions. Typical published articles will contribute significant new transferable knowledge in the form of (a) an innovation or (b) a new insight into material processing in the form of a transferable qualitative or quantitative explanation of a difference between experimental measurements and the predictions of existing theory. 'Transferable' knowledge applies to materials or processing conditions broader than those tested within the article.The Journal of Materials Processing Technology generally does not accept papers in the following areas:Simulation with no experimental verification and/or which gives no new insight into the process.Experimental reports which do not provide a convincing analytical or physical explanation of observed behaviour.Topics that properly belong to the materials science literature. Examples include the synthesis of materials, chemical experiments and studies of material composition.The analysis of material properties, surfaces or product performance without reference to the processing which caused them.Statistical methods or techniques from Artificial Intelligence which treat the process as a black box.The operation of equipment, without reference to materials (such as tool path design in CNC machining), or the management of factory systems.As stated in the journal's editorial policy, the Journal of Materials Processing Technology does not accept multiple-part papers or case studies.

ISSN: 2589-5540

Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering (NPE) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary research journal that covers all areas related to nanotechnology and precision engineering, which provides a forum for researchers of the related field all over the world.In order for NPE to distinguish itself from competing journals, and as a service to our authors and readers, it is published as an Open Access journal. The publishers will cover the costs for this service. NPE is hosted on the ScienceDirect electronic platform, from which users can make full-text downloads for free if they so choose.NPE will publish four issues per volume/year. NPE publishes original research articles, reviews, communications and discussions that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:Micro/Nano Devices, Sensors and ActuatorsMicro- and Nanoscale FabricationMEMS/NEMSMicro/Nano FluidicsMicro/Nano OpticsMicro/Nanotechnology for Biomedical ApplicationsMicro- and Nano Characterization and MetrologyFlexible ElectronicsAdvanced Materials and Their Interface with Micro/NanotechnologyPrecision InstrumentsPrecision EngineeringIndustrial, Frontier and Future trends for NPE

Smart Materials in Manufacturing

ISSN: 2772-8102

Smart Materials in Manufacturing is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal. We publish original research papers and authoritative reviews that drive innovation in the manufacturing and processing of advanced materials with embedded functionality. The focus is on existing and emerging manufacturing technologies that process novel materials and systems. Typically, these offer a variety of enhancements and capabilities, including, but not limited to, structural hierarchy, controlled phase formation, improved and bespoke properties for target applications, shape memory and morphing ability, stimuli responsiveness, sensing and actuation. We are interested in papers that characterise these constructs and assess their ability to achieve real-world functionality.The scope of the journal embraces the entire workflow underlying the manufacturing of active materials. Topics of interest sit at the crossroads of materials science and engineering and include:Metals and alloysCeramics and glassesPolymersComposite materials and multi-material systemsNatural and bio-based materialsShape memory and morphing materialsLattices and scaffoldsWe welcome submissions that explore all aspects of these materials and structures, including:Materials chemistryDesign and process optimisation(Multi-)materials and (multi-)physics modellingSurfaces, coatings, and interfacesCharacterisation of materials and componentsInterrogation of responses and signals emanating from the constructed materials
