摘要

The Fe–Mn damping alloys possess considerable damping capacity, but their yield strength is rather low. The 800 MPa Fe–Mn alloy with expected damping capacity was designed by the combination of grain refinement and ε-martensite introduction. The yield strength can be greatly raised to around 700 MPa by refining grain size from 88.4 to 1.8 μm. Although there exist numerous stacking faults in the fine-grained alloy, the damping capacity is strongly deteriorated due to the suppression of thermally activated ε-martensite. We demonstrate that the stacking faults cannot provide effective contribution to damping capacity and hence introduce a considerable volume fraction of stress/strain-induced ε-martensite to raise damping sources, including ε-martensite and γ/ε interfaces, etc., by a small pre-strain. From this, the damping capacity can be improved, and the yield strength can be further enhanced from nearly 700 MPa to around 800 MPa. Thus, the combination of high yield strength and good damping capacity is realized.
