Abstract
The damping capacity as well as Young's modulus has been measured by flexural vibration (220-310Hz) as a function of temperature (125 - 370K) for (Mn1- XFeX) 0.95 Cu0. 05 (X = 0-146 - 0.279) and Mn1 - XNiX (X = 0.096 - 0.240) alloys quenched from the γ-phase state. The temperature dependence of axial ratio of the metastable γ-phase has been determined and some alloys have been further examined by torsional vibration (l.2-1.6Hz). Provided that the fct/fcc critical temperature is high enough, the alloys show high damping capacity(Q-1 = 0.01- 0.02) at 250-350K which consists of at least two peaks. They have both the character of the relaxtion type damping with the almost equal activation energy 5x104 J/mol. The damping behaviour of the examined alloys is essentially the same as known for Mn-Cu alloys.
