Non-Destructive Characterization of Railway Materials and Components with Infrared Thermography Technique
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The infrared thermography (IR) is proved to be a useful method in nondestructive evaluation of components. The subject is interesting, however there is nothing specified about the material constants needed in the performing IR evaluations or description of the concept method.

Point 1: The infrared thermography (IR) is proved to be a useful method in nondestructive evaluation of components. The subject is interesting, however there is nothing specified about the material constants needed in the performing IR evaluations or description of the concept method.
Response 1: Thank you for your comment on this article. As pointed out, experimental conditions for IR evaluation were introduced in Section 2.1, and new conditions for lock-in thermography were added in Section 3.4.
Thank you.
