Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper is well wirtten, and the research content is good. But the English should be improved. The errors should be provides in Figures 11 ~17 . The experimental conditions are not clear and specific. The Abstract should be refined.

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors investigated the parametric assessment of surface topography and its influence on joint tightness of non-separable joints for thin wall applications. The topic is interesting and match the journal well. I suggest it can be accepted with some minor revisions.

Detailed comments:

1.      Introduction:The second paragraph is too long. Two or three parts should be made. Some recent work about the surface topography should be concerned: Friction 9(4): 723–733 (2021);  Surface & Coatings Technology 443 (2022) 128637; Tribology International 136 (2019) 267–275ï¼›Surface & Coatings Technology 358 (2019) 353–361

2.      2. Materials and methods:The more detailed testing parameters and testing process should be given. How about the experimental repeatability?

3.      3.2. Influence of different roughness topography and force analysis for leakage detection: The mechanism behind the results should be explained with more details.

4.      The format of the references should be updated.

Answer: Thank you for advice, the article has been considered and some of them were added.

 

  1. Materials and methods: The more detailed testing parameters and testing process should be given.

Answer: Thank you for advice, the idea of testing process has been more explained.

  1. How about the experimental repeatability

Answer: Thank you for advice, each of the sample was checked 3 times and the representatives was taken.

  1. Influence of different roughness topography and force analysis for leakage detection: The mechanism behind the results should be explained with more details

Answer: Thank you for advice, the different roughness topography and force analyses has been extended in article, also the mechanism has been explained.

 

  1. The format of the references should be updated.

Answer: Thank you for advice, the format has been updated.

Reviewer 3 Report

This paper’s subject matter is well within the journal topic areas, however there are a number of problems and uncertainties that need the authors’ serious attention, and a significant and majors revision is required before we can assess it again. The following are problem areas:

1.      Introduction it’s insufficient a more detail is required.

2.      When talking about the materials and methods, the authors should clarify the reason for selecting the compositions that were chosen for their work.

3.      4.      This manuscript is mostly a description of the results, and lack of the depth discussion,

5.      The manuscript is rather an experimental report. Own results are overrated and not discussed on the basis of comparable studies of other authors. 

6.      Thorough discussion of achieved results in light of results of other authors.

7.      Discussion part is too weak,

8.      Please provides a high resolution figures to meet the journal requirement

9.      Conclusion: It is too bulky. Make it concise form possibly with some numerical results.

-.  Conclusions must be comprehensive and not written like a report.
