Reviewer 2 Report

In general, it contains a number of things that it would be good to clarify, refine and add before publishing it.

 

If Figure 1 was not made by you and you took it from the literature, you need to make a link.

The methodology should provide data on the topology of the use of a neural network (in more detail) and justify its application. Also, you should clarify how she was trained, the duration of training, the criteria for stopping, the organization of training, control and test samples.

Comments on the conclusion:

• Artificial intelligence methods, especially ANNs, are a useful tool for revealing com-354 plex relationships in the production of metallic alloys.

It is very generalizing. The article provides data on only one technological process, for one material. At the same time, there is no practical confirmation of the result. This conclusion is not justified.

Reviewer 3 Report

     In this paper, Conditional-Average-Estimator artificial neural network (CAE ANN) was used to analyze the influences of chemical composition in conjunction with selected process parameters on the yield strength and elongation of an extruded profile made from Aluminum alloy 6082 (AA6082). The results are meaningful for improving the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy AA 6082. The present work can be published after minor revision. Some questions were given as follows:

(1) The effect of the chemical composition and process parameters is not independent. How to analyze the relationships between all these parameters?

(2) Some experimental results should be carried out to verify the reliability of the simulation results.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors have corrected the comments. The article has become generally better for readers. I think that in this form it can be published.
