Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. It´s neccesary a light revision of grammar and spelling.

2. In Figure 2, the images a and b should have the same magnification.

3. In Figure 6, add a new image with less magnification to see the location of the corrosion.

4. In Figure 7, improve the images (more brightness)

5. Increase the size of Figure 13.

6. Figure 14 is not clear. Increase the size to see the layers. Indicate in Figure 14 a) substrate and coating. Improve the line profile and to add a mapping of the same elements.

7. In the paragraph below Figure 14, in many parts of the text there are references to width in microns in different layers. Where does this data come from?

8. The Table 6 needs to be fixed.

9. Increase the size of Figure 18.

10. In paragraph below Figure 18 appears ..........and the volume fraction of granular NbC increased from 1,67% to 2,54%. Where is this?

11. Figure 20. Not seen the size of carbide.

12. Figure 23. Improve the quality of images (more contrast).

13. In line 452, what is No.4 resident solution?

14. Rewrite the sentence 513-515.
