Engineering and Construction surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) of steel: Nano
microstructure on surface of bulk sample
Project description
You should cover the SMAT process, effect of SMAT on the structure and properties, and some
applications. Also, SMAT influence on the diffusion process. Please support the paper with equations and
figures.

Hello writer, I have send you before a PDF file that has some comments but it seems you didn’t do all of
them. Please go back to it and make sure you did all of it. Beside, i have the following feedback that
need to be aIDressed: 1- Throughout this paper, please remove the references used and replace them
with the EndNote references you have made. You only need to insert citation for each reference. Also,
make sure to include the full citation information with no errors. 2- In the abstract, what do you mean
by upgrading the physical properties? This is not clear. 3- Don’t use um as the unit size but instead
refer to µm 4- The heading Effects on general material thickness is misleading. What thickness are
you referring to here? 5- 2.0. Mechanical twinning this heading seem to be not related to what
proceed it. 6- You have to give the reference for each figure or table you include. 7- The formulas need
to be written through the MS equations function and NOT to be copied and paste. 8- You mention
Figure 6 below shows a tensile strain curve for a SMAT 316 stainless steel sample in comparison with
the untreated original sample with same geometry. Please comments on the results and why does this
happen? 9- In the fatigue subsection Results indicated the ability to bear loads by the SMAT treated
low carbon steel is improves as compared to the untreated sample. Please correct/ modify as it seem
there is a grammar problem here. 10- You provide three figures on corrosion. Please remove one or two
of them, there is no need for all of them. As well, please give further comments and not only presenting
the data. 11- You mention Whenever a grain size is reduced by 10nm, the measured amount of triple
junctions can be as high as few volume percents please cite it. 12- For the derivations in page 19-20,
please write the final equation using the MS word formula and cite it. Also mention for further
information on the derivation of the formula can be seen through other reference and cite it. Also, make
sure to define each term. 13- Include keywords in the abstract part. I have made a five days extension
and let me know if you need more. Thanks and looking forwards for your feedback.
