投了3个多月，终于有回复了。硕士有3篇SCI，博士换了学校，做的东西太偏向工程很难写，博士第一篇SCI老板也没空改，感觉自己好慢，投的合金与化合物，6月多就要中期了，希望这篇能赶上，回来显示小修，但是有8个问题，不知道中的概率大不大？

Yours sincerely,

While submitting the revised manuscript, please double check the author names provided in the submission so that authorship related changes are made in the revision stage. If your manuscript is accepted, any authorship change will involve approval from co-authors and respective editor handling the submission and this may cause a significant delay in publishing your manuscript.

Reviewers' comments:


Reviewer #1:
1. In the introduction section authors state the following:"
With respect  to thermal properties it seems logical to add AlN to Al-Si, as AlN has better thermal properties than Al-Si (as stated) but why does adding  brittle  AlN   improve the mechanical properties of Al-Si? what was the thinking behind the addition?

2.In the experimental  section what do the authors mean by billets?<phi>35×10 mm
billets, does  Al-50Si mean   50% wt% Si

3. In the phase analysis ,could the shift in the XRD peaks with increasing the Si content from 0 wt% to 50 wt% be due to increased strain in AlN crystals rather?

4. Authors need to quote  citations  for the XRD peak position assigned to Al-AlN-50Si,Al and Si
5. Authors need to quote  citations for EDS peak positions assigned to (a) AlB , (b) Al-AlN-10SiB , (c) Al-AlN-50SiB

6.Can the authors provide atomic concentration from the EDS spectra to  10% and 50% Si wt%

7. In the discussion part:
4.1 Effect of Si content on gas-diffusion-reaction system

8. How are the authors able to identify the composition based on color scale , was EDS analysis done at specific points rather than area? Can the authors provide the data.Much of the analysis seem to be based on interpretation of color from the SEM images. Need the authors to provide EDS data at specific points to identify Al rich silicon rich or Al-AlN-Si rich areas. Please provide data to the reviewers to make the understanding clear
