《國際機床與制造雜志》致力于提高對工藝和機械基本力學的科學理解，這些基本力學應用于制造工程部件，主要是金屬，也適用于復合材料、陶瓷和其他結構/功能材料。它不涉及大規模的天然有機材料。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?機床和機床工件系統的性能特征?工具設計、使用和故障?現有或新工藝和機器的重大科學發展?通過幾何/微觀結構精度實現附加值的方法?微型制造以上列表并不詳盡，歡迎就工藝科學/技術或制造硬件相關的其他主題發表論文。當前知識狀況的顯著和有用的進步是一個重要因素，重要的是論文的呈現方式將受到學術界和執業工程師的贊賞。除非證明科學/技術知識的重大進步，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進步的論文可能會被拒絕。通常情況下，不接受多部分文件。

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.
