The International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture is devoted to advances in scientific understanding of essential mechanics of processes and machines applied to the manufacture of engineering components, mainly in metals, but also in composites, ceramics and other structural/functional materials. It does not deal with large-scale natural organic materials. To this end coverage is given to a range of topics that includes:?Essential mechanics of processes involving material removal, accretion and deformation, in solid, semi-solid or particulate form ?Performance characteristics of machine tools and machine tool work-piece systems ?Tool design, utilization and failure ?Significant scientific development of existing or new processes and machines ?Approaches to added value through geometrical/microstructural precision ?Micro manufactureThe above list is not exhaustive and papers on other topics associated with process science/technology or manufacturing hardware are welcome. Significant and useful advance of the current state of knowledge is an essential factor and it is important that papers are presented in a manner that will be appreciated by both academics and practising engineers. It is unlikely that papers dealing with theory or modelling alone will be acceptable, unless a significant proven advance in scientific/technological knowledge is demonstrated. Likewise, papers in which the use of methodology predominates over technological advance would probably be rejected. Normally, multipart papers are not acceptable.

《國際機(jī)床與制造雜志》致力于提高對工藝和機(jī)械基本力學(xué)的科學(xué)理解，這些基本力學(xué)應(yīng)用于制造工程部件，主要是金屬，也適用于復(fù)合材料、陶瓷和其他結(jié)構(gòu)/功能材料。它不涉及大規(guī)模的天然有機(jī)材料。為此，我們提供了一系列主題，包括：?涉及固體、半固體或顆粒形式的材料移除、堆積和變形過程的基本力學(xué)?機(jī)床和機(jī)床工件系統(tǒng)的性能特征?工具設(shè)計(jì)、使用和故障?現(xiàn)有或新工藝和機(jī)器的重大科學(xué)發(fā)展?通過幾何/微觀結(jié)構(gòu)精度實(shí)現(xiàn)附加值的方法?微型制造以上列表并不詳盡，歡迎就工藝科學(xué)/技術(shù)或制造硬件相關(guān)的其他主題發(fā)表論文。當(dāng)前知識狀況的顯著和有用的進(jìn)步是一個(gè)重要因素，重要的是論文的呈現(xiàn)方式將受到學(xué)術(shù)界和執(zhí)業(yè)工程師的贊賞。除非證明科學(xué)/技術(shù)知識的重大進(jìn)步，否則僅涉及理論或建模的論文不太可能被接受。同樣，那些以使用方法論為主而非技術(shù)進(jìn)步的論文可能會被拒絕。通常情況下，不接受多部分文件。
