Research Progress and the Prospect of Damping Magnesium Alloys

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This review states that the objective of this work is to present the progress in the research of damping magnesium alloys with integrated structure and function, and predict their development trends.

Intention and idea are important when it comes to magnesium alloys; However, the content and format of the present work is deficient for a review presentation. The work is rather a compendium of the different magnesium damping alloys without any chronology although in the title they mention that it is a “research advance.”

They also do not conclude with any perspective on magnesium damping alloys. The authors should present by separately  the mechanical properties of damping magnesium alloys or do more research on the effect of dislocation on damping characteristics or consider different trends, maybe this can be more attractive. Additionally, they should consider including more images or schemes.
