Impact of Laser Texturing on Ni-Based Single Crystal Superalloys

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This is a useful paper on impact of laser texturing on Ni-based single crystal superalloys.

1. How did the laser texturing on Ni-based single crystal superalloys affect the mechanical properties on the base metal?
2. How did the laser texturing affect the adhesion between thermal barrier coating and the superalloy?
3. Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming important of the processing of superalloys, it is suggested to include some information on this in the introduction section. [DOI: 10.3390/app10010081] [http://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11020195].

Reviewer 2 Report

It is an interesting work on the surface laser texturing of Ni-based superalloys. Here are the comments authors may address. 

1. The Discussion part still contain lots of new results, which need to be incorporated into Results part, or authors may consider to combine Results and Discussion.
2. In several figures, the scale bar shows 2,5 um. Is it 2.5? Authors may consider to use 2 um because 2.5 is not a typically used. Neither for 14 um.
