Journal Title：International Journal Of Material Forming

The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.

The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.

All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.

本期刊發表和傳播材料成型領域的原創研究成果。研究成果應在理解、建模或模擬材料成型過程方面取得重大成就。在這方面，“成型”意味著材料的有意變形。

該期刊建立了一個工程師和科學家之間的交流平臺，涵蓋所有成型工藝，包括板材成型、體積成型、粉末成型、近熔條件下的成型（注塑、觸變成形、吹膜等）、微成型、液壓成型、熱成型、增量成型等。如果工作的重點是塑性變形，則可以包括機械加工和切割等其他制造技術。

涉及所有材料（金屬、陶瓷、聚合物、復合材料、玻璃、木材、纖維增強材料、食品加工材料、生物材料、納米材料、形狀記憶合金等）和方法（微觀宏觀建模、熱機械建模、數值模擬（包括新的和先進的數值策略）、實驗分析、逆分析、模型識別、優化、成型工具和機器的設計和控制、磨損和摩擦、材料的機械行為和可成型性等）。

International Journal Of Material Forming創刊于2008年，由Springer Paris出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING - MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
