Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).The present volume comprises a collection of peer-reviewed papers covering engineering & technology, material science and technology in manufacturing including artificial material, forming, novel material fabrication, green manufacturing and other related topics. This work will be invaluable to production and research engineers, and also to research students and academics interested in the field.Invited and peer-reviewed papers cover advanced material technologies and machining; tribological materials, friction, wear, and strength; advanced engineering manufacturing technologies and equipment, mechanical engineering; and product design. Among specific topics are formation mechanisms of the red spark discharge of micro-arc oxidation, tribological properties of ceramic tool materials in contact with wood-based materials, the control bearing of pre-tightening force on the guide of a high-speed punch press, technology to reduce noise and vibration in hybrid electric vehicles, and a user-friendly design of a modern forest fire helmet.
