Abstract
A commercial Al-Mg-Si alloy has been used for the present investigation. After tensile deformation at about 100 K modulus and decrement have been measured simultaneously between 100 and 400 K with a torsion pendulum. The internal friction effects were found to be not very reproducible from sample to sample. However, continuous dislocation pinning between 90 and 300 K and two pinning stages between 300 and 350 K were observed. The deformation-induced damping peaks appeared between 115 and 265 K. Their annealing behaviour has been investigated. All peaks disappeared after annealing at 400 K.
