Reviewer 2 Report

This is a nice paper and should be published. There are, however, some issues that need to be addressed first:

1. English must be improved, both grammar and style. The manuscript is sometimes hard to read e.g. due to lack of articles

2. Page 1, line 35: Please provide at least one reference to support this statement

3. Figure 1: I would write "heat transfer" instead of "heat intensity"

4. Page 2, line 56: Please separate the value from the unit, "200 m/min". This is a common mistake in your manuscript, please fix all other instances too

5. Page 3, lines 82 and 85: This is a repetition, try to summarize the literature results without repeating yourself

6. Table 1: Under "Composition", the unit should be wt%, please correct

7. Figure 3: All images except (c) have very poor quality, please replace with high quality ones

8. Page 5, line 162: Replace "r/min" with "rpm"

9. Figure 4: The locations of the "power switch" and "computer for analysis" don't need to be indicated, since they are not interesting

10. Page 7, lines 194-200: To improve the discussion, measuring the actual roughness would be useful. Optical microscopy can provide a roughness profile

11. Page 7, lines 205 and 107: Another repetition here

12. Figure 9: Please use the same symbols as in Fig. 5 and 10

13. Page 8, line 234: Another repetition of the previous paragraph

14. Figure 10: Alumina is not a "coating", but a layer resulting from the machining process

15. Figure 11: Please indicate the area from which the EDS pattern in (c) originated. For comparison, add also EDS patterns from the other regions
