Line # Referee’s Comments
9 The statement “the accelerated oxidation is likely to occur” is an ambiguity when present in the abstract. The fact it occurred already. Please state it in the right way.
98-99 The equation must be cited from a reference, please refer to the ref. cited despite it is already common.
121
Please fill it with the way how the micrographs (optical) were taken. After polishing to mirror finish, the preparation must be continued with etching steps. This should be shortly described in experimental method. What is etching agent used for metallography observation ?.
138-141
The experimental oxidation kinetic curve should be compared with that of an existing oxidation kinetic model. How good is your data matched with the oxidation kinetic model ?
188-212 The sentences within these lines should not be a new paragraph 189 How could you be sure it is a Fe-Cr Phase ?
201-206 475-476
What kind of analysis used to confirm the phases defined in the paragraph? You didn’t refer to any references. Plots in Figure 3 seem still primary data, not analyzed data.
Please clarify your statement.
There are 6 different photographs, but you considered them 3. Please clarify it.
Final comments and recommendations:
The manuscript was nicely written and systematic description has been given. However, some statements made in the manuscript require clarifications (see the referee’s comment above).
Nevertheless, the conclusion taken as the final consequences of results and discussion is acceptable. Hence, subject to necessary corrections and clarification would be made by the authors, I give my recommendation for this manuscript to be published in ATOM
INDONESIA.
