《材料加工技術雜志》涵蓋了金屬和其他材料制造零部件所采用的加工技術。該雜志的目的是發表完整的研究論文原創性，重大和嚴謹的工作，從而有助于提高生產效率和提高組件性能。期刊感興趣的領域包括：?鑄造、成型和機加工?添加劑加工和連接技術?在制造過程中滿足的特定條件下材料性能的演變?表面工程，特別涉及制造工藝?設備和工具的設計和行為該期刊的核心興趣是金屬加工，但我們也涵蓋了其他材料，其中文章重點介紹了工藝對材料的影響，以及沒有其他更合適的專用期刊的情況。例如，如果感興趣的話，聚合物的塑性成形，但是聚合物成分對性能的影響在專門的聚合物雜志上有很好的報道。典型文章將研究工藝設計、工具設計或工藝操作條件對材料性能或設備未來性能的影響。大多數文章將適當的定量分析與精心設計的實驗相結合。材料科學、摩擦學和熱力學在其他專門的期刊上都有很好的介紹，因此這些主題只有在專門用于深入了解制造組件中使用的加工技術時才對本期刊感興趣。例如，工程表面的工藝是有意義的，但是摩擦分析被專門的磨損或摩擦學雜志所覆蓋。期刊的編輯政策規定了我們考慮提交材料的依據。典型的已發表文章將以（a）創新或（b）以可轉讓的定性或定量解釋實驗測量和現有理論預測之間差異的形式，對材料加工提供重要的新的可轉讓知識。可轉讓的“知識”適用于比物品中測試范圍更廣的材料或加工條件。《材料加工技術雜志》一般不接受以下領域的論文：?無實驗驗證的模擬和/或對過程沒有新見解的模擬?對觀察到的行為不能提供令人信服的分析或物理解釋的實驗報告?適當屬于材料科學文獻的主題。實例包括材料的合成、化學實驗和材料組成的研究。?分析材料特性、表面或產品性能，而不參考導致這些特性的加工。?人工智能的統計方法或技術，將過程視為黑盒。?在不參考材料（如CNC加工中的刀具路徑設計）或工廠系統管理的情況下操作設備。正如期刊的編輯政策所述，《材料加工技術雜志》不接受多篇論文、簡短的交流或案例研究。提交給期刊的論文只有在根據期刊的作者指南進行準備的情況下才會被考慮。

The 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, forming and machining? Additive processing and joining technologies? The evolution of material properties under the specific conditions met in manufacturing processes? Surface engineering when it relates specifically to a manufacturing process? Design and behavior of equipment and toolsThe core interest of the journal is the processing of metals, but we also cover other 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 if 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. For example, processes for engineering surfaces are of interest, but the analysis of friction is well covered by specialised journals of wear or tribology.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, short communications or case studies.Papers submitted to the journal will only be considered if they have been prepared according to the journal's Guide for Authors.
