Adhesion Strength and Anti-Corrosion Performance of Ceramic Coating on Laser-Textured Aluminum Alloy

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Manuscript is presented well. It can publish after some corrections.

Line 94, remove dot mark from wt.%? check throughout the manuscript.

Authors prepared the sample Laser Surface Texturing and Micro Arc Oxidation Treatment method. Can authors provide a comparison table with other methods considering the main findings?

Line 96. Make a space between the number and oC.

SEM scale bar is not visible. Improve it. Draw by yourself.

In conclusion, avoid points, just write a paragraph, including the main findings.

EDS figures need to be shown in the manuscript. At% needs to be included in the manuscript.

 

Improve the discussion part of each result.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

 The researchers confirmed that the adhesion strength of laser-textured ceramic coating is improved compared with the as-received substrate.The article is very interesting. The following points need to be addressed.

- Aluminum alloys have garnered significant attention in the automotive and aero space industries due to their low density and high strength [1-4].

Could you expand the citation?

-  The objective is to determine the optimal parameter and can provide theoretical insights and technical support for lightweight materials in the automotive industry. Add some novelty to this point.

- Need more explanation on "Figure 10. Adhesion strength of aluminum alloy under different surface treatments".

- With an increase in treatment time, the bonding strength indicates  an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease. Need justification.

-  Many studies have explored the corrosion  resistance of MAO-treated aluminum alloy surfaces, confirming the effectiveness [12-14]. Expand the citation.

- Figure 5. EDS elemental mapping of laser textured aluminum with MAO treatment at 500 V for 30  min. need more explanation.

- Write more points on the future scope.
