Abstract
This special issue includes eight papers on Advanced Machining Technology, selected and substantially extended from the original papers presented at the 36th MATADOR conference, held in Manchester, UK in July 2010. The MATADOR conference papers were peer reviewed. The selected special issue papers published herein have gone through a further rigorous peer review process by the journal.
The papers included in this special issue cover aspects of new developments in machining technology for polymer, composites and Ti alloys relevant to the aerospace, automotive, and biomedical industries. Fundamental studies on burr characteristics in face milling, chip formation in micro-milling, and modelling of machining processes are presented, providing the issue with a theme reflecting some of the latest research findings in both theoretical and experimental studies of machining science and technology.
