Abstract

The magnetomechanical damping capacity of cast and thermally sprayed Fe-Cr based alloys has been investigated using free and forced vibration techniques. The coatings were deposited using a vacuum plasma spraying method and the cast alloys were prepared in a high frequency furnace under an argon atmosphere. Three laboratory devices including a torsion pendulum, a resonant bar and a cantilever were used to cover a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes varying between f = 1Hz to 10 kHz, and ε = 10−6 to 10−3. The damping capacity of the plasma sprayed coatings was found to be comparable to that of cast alloys. Appropriate heat treatments improved the damping capacity of both coatings and cast alloys by several times. The variation of the loss factor as function of the vibration amplitude showed a maximum, but versus frequency exhibited a slightly monotonous character. The magnetic domains were observed using the magneto-optical Kerr effect and their modification under heat treatments was associated with different values of the damping capacities.
