Tensile Properties and Damping Capacity of Cold-Rolled Fe-20Mn-12Cr-3Ni-3Si Damping Alloy

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The paper concerns the investigation of the development of steel materials damping alloy (Fe–20Mn–12Cr–3Ni–3Si), evaluated by mechanical properties, such as strength and damping capacity. And, the authors focused about the mechanical properties in this alloy to determine the relationship between the tensile properties and damping capacity.

The scientific results are many, but the work needs a revision to better clarify the interpretation of the data and to better present the experimental results. The author should read the manuscript and clarify the command clearly. The authors have to care about typos. There are careless mistakes in some places.

Reviewer 3 Report

Unfortunately, the quality of the work cannot be assessed, since Figures 6-8 are absolutely unclear and do not contain comments. The authors sent a completely unfinished article to the editorial office. To evaluate the work, the authors should carefully double-check it. 

Author Response

It was revised based on the reviewer's comments. In addition, the authors tried to concise the contents in a manuscript.

Reviewer 3 Report

Unfortunately the authors did not make any significant corrections to the sections proposed by me and other reviewers, the article is still not possible to evaluate 

Author Response

Because the authors could not receive any detailed comments from reviewer 3, the authors revised some parts commented by reviewer 2 and submitted the revised version. There is no response to reviewer 3.
