Effects of carbon and Ti on damping capacity are investigated in an Fe-17%Mn alloy. The suppressive force of carbon against ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\varepsilon}$ transformation increases linearly with an increase in its content, lowering Ms temperature and volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite. Carbon deteriorates damping capacity by reducing the interfacial area of damping sources and mobility of the boundaries contributing to anelastic deformation. The reduction in damping capacity is accelerated when carbon-containing alloy is aged at higher temperatures above room temperature. The effect of Ti on damping capacity is found to be benificial in carbon-containing alloy, which is attributed to the depletion of carbon solute due to the formation of TiC.

Influence of solution treatment (T4) and peak-aging (T6) on damping capacity was investigated in permanent-mold cast Mg-3%Nd alloy. In as-cast state, the microstructure was characterized by eutectic $Mg_{12}Nd$ intermetallic phase network in the intergranular region. T4 treatment resulted in a dissolution of the eutectic particles, but small amount of the particles still remained in the microstructure. After T6 treatment, nano-sized ${\beta}^{\prime}(Mg_{12}Nd)$ particles were precipitated within the matrix. T4 microstructure showed higher damping capacity than as-cast and T6 ones. In view of the microstructural features, this may well be associated with the dissolution of second-phase particles which play a role in pinning the dislocations acting as a damping source.

As the industrial civilization develops, humankind can expect to receive the convenience and richness. But the various by-product which it leaves as the pollution threatens the natural environment. Especially, noise and vibration of these pollutions are causative of the mental instability and hard of hearing. In addition, they cause the performance degradation of the precision instrument and the early rising fatigue fracture of parts of precision instrument from the industry side. So recently interest in the damping technology and damping alloy is increasing. Therefore, in order to grasp the advanced technology of the damping alloy, we analyzed global techniques and patents information in this paper.

The endurance of expansion joint manufactured the Fe-Mn damping alloy reducing noise and vibration is analyzed into FEM (Finite Element Method) and fatigue test. The fatigue test have been performed using the expansion joint manufactured Fe-Mn damping alloy and the hydraulic actuator (25tonf). And the results of fatigue test show that the maximum strength is 237.6 MPa. Also that is 56.6 percent of Fe-Mn damping alloy yield strength (420 MPa). The loading plate size is prepared $57.7cm{\times}23.1cm$ and the loading plate's set position is located on expansion joint. The expansion joint manufactured the Fe-Mn damping alloy had not presented breaking behavior against 2,000,000 times fatigue test and identified the fatigue endurance.

In recent work, we reported that a hot-rolled Fe-18wt%Mn alloy exhibited high damping capacity as well as excellent mechanical properties. It was also proposed that damping capacity of the alloy was proportional to the ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ boundary area. In the present study, the effects of homogenization(12hrs at $1100^{\circ}C$) and solution treatment(1hr at $1050^{\circ}C$ before air cooling) on damping capacity and mechanical properties were investigated for as-cast and heat treated Fe-18wt%Mn alloy. The specimen subjected to both homogenization and solution treatment was found to show superior damping capacity and mechanical properties to the as-cast state due to removal of segregation and increase in ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ boundary area.

In this study, shape memory alloy damper with characteristics of pseudoelastic hysteresis for helicopter rotor blades are investigated. SMAs can be available in damping augmentation of vibrating structures. SMAs show large hysteresis in the process of pseudoelastic austenite-martensite phase transformation which takes place while subjected to loading above the austenite finish temperature. Since SMAs display pseudoelastic hysteresis behavior over large strain ranges, a significant amount of energy dissipation is possible. A damper can be designed with SMA wires prestressed to a baseline level somewhere in the middle of the pseudoelastic stress range. An experimental study of the effects of pre-strain and cyclic strain amplitude as well as frequency on the damping behavior of pseudoelastic shape memory alloy wires are performed. The effects of the shape memory alloy damper on aeroelastic and ground resonance stability of helicopter are studied. In aeroelastic stability, the dynamic characteristics of blades related to pitch angle and the amplitude of lag motion for the rotor equipped with SMA damper were examined. The performance of SMA damper on ground resonance instability are presented through the frequencies and modal damping with respect to rotating speed.

The changes in damping capacity with volume fractions of thermal and deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensites were compared and analyzed in an Fe-23%-Mn alloy. The volume fraction of thermal ${\varepsilon}$ martensite increased with decreasing cooling temperature, whereas that of deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite increased steeply up to 10%- of cold rolling and nearly saturated in further cold rolling. In the case of thermal ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, the damping capacity increased linearly with the increase in ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. For the deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, however, the damping capacity increased continuously up to 70%- of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, over which it decreased suddenly. TEM microstructures showed that the deterioration of damping capacity above 70%- of deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite is ascribed to the introduction of perfect dislocations, which play a important role in inhibiting the movement of damping sources such as stacking fault boundaries inside ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, ${\varepsilon}$ martensite variant boundaries and ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ interfaces.

The effects of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content and strain amplitude on damping capacity of an Fe-17%Mn alloy have been studied to establish damping mechanism of Fe-Mn system corresponding to the magnitude of strain amplitude. In a range of $1{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3{\times}10^{-4}$ strain amplitude, the damping capacity is linearly proportional to the ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content, which suggests that stacking faults and ${\varepsilon}$ martensite variant boundaries are the principal damping sources. In the range of $4{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}6{\times}10^{-4}$ strain amplitude, however, a maximum damping capacity is observed around 68 vol.% ${\varepsilon}$. This behavior is very similar to dependence of relative area of ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ interface on ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. This means that in this strain range, ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ interface acts as damping source in addition to the stacking faults and variant boundaries in Fe-17%Mn alloy.

The effect of grain size on the damping capacity of Fe-26Mn-2Al alloy studied in this paper has been investigated after changing the microstructure by cold rolling and changing grain size. Micro structures in Fe-26Mn-2Al at room temperature consist of a large quantity of austenite and a small quantity of ${\varepsilon}\;and\;{\alpha}'$ martensite. And ${\varepsilon}\;and\;{\alpha}'$ martensite was increased by increasing the degree of cold rolling. The content of deformation induced martensite was increased with increasing the degree of cold rolling. Damping capacity was linearly increased with increasing ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content, which suggests that stacking faults and ${\varepsilon}$ martensite variant boundaries are the principle damping sources. With increasing the grain size in Fe-26Mn-2Al alloy, the damping capacity was increased due to increasing the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite by decrement in stability of austenite phase. With decreasing the grain size, the content of deformation induced martensite was decreased and the damping capacity was decreased.

Effect of Co content on the microstructure and damping capacity of Fe-23%Mn-X%Co alloy was studied. The volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite of the alloy was increased with increasing Co content. The hardness was increased with lowering cooling temperature and increasing Co content in Fe-23%Mn-X%Co alloy, which is ascribed to the increase in ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. The damping capacity of Fe-23%Mn-X%Co alloy was linearly increased with increasing the strain amplitude, and was constant regardless of Co content at the same volume fractions of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite when the low strain amplitudes ($1{\sim}3{\times}10^{-4}$) were applied, while the damping capacity with large strain amplitudes ($4{\sim}6{\times}10^{-4}$) became higher with increasing Co content at all valume fractions of ${\varepsilon}$.
