Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

Your paper presents an interesting study on a B89 tin babbitt material with surface modification by FSP using a high-speed stell whorl pin.

Please take into consideration de following comments :

Major corrections :

  • To enhance the reading experience, I suggest that you split your section "Materials and methods" in two independant sections  "Methods" and "Materials".
  • The miscrostructure of the samples before the tribological tests should be presented before the results section (e.g. in the material section).
  • More generally, if the aim of your study is the tribological characterization of your samples, it would be better for the reading that the other tests (mechanical tests or miscrostructure characterisations before tribological testing) were presented befor the result section.
  • As for the figure8 and 9, the other bar graphs (fig. 11, 16 and 17 should present error bars to higligh that the differences observed in your results are significant.

Minor corrections :

  • Please performe a small english spell check on the paper. For instance , at line 29, "refinement of and" (extra "of")

Sincerely,

Author Response
