Summary:Recently, several studies have focused on the development of ecocirculation materials by recycling the used steel drink cans in foundries, which have both high heat resistance and good wear resistance. Cast irons containing high aluminum element are under consideration for practical applications as machine tool parts because of their excellent properties, such as high damping capacity, in spite of their poor mechanical properties caused by high graphite content. However, few works have been carried out in detail to study the influence of the addition of aluminum upon the damping capacity of cast iron. Therefore, it is necessary to study the damping capacity of cast iron with the added aluminum. In the present work, the effects of aluminum addition on damping capacity of cast iron were investigated in detail. Meanwhile, in order to analyze the damping mechanism, the microstructure of cast iron was also investigated.
