The aim of the present work is to study the effect of annealing on the vibration damping
capacity of high-chromium (16%) ferromagnetic steel. The alloys were prepared from raw
materials of 99.9% purity melted in a high frequency induction furnace under high vacuum.
The samples were heat-treated in vacuum at various temperatures (800 to 1200ºC) for 1
hour followed by slow cooling (120ºC/h). The inverted torsional pendulum method was used
to evaluate the vibration damping capacity. The results indicated that the vibration damping …

The aim of the present work is to study the vibration damping capacity of annealed high-
chromium (16%) ferromagnetic steel. The alloys were prepared from raw materials of 99.9%
purity melted in a high frequency induction furnace under high vacuum. The samples were
heat-treated in vacuum at various temperatures (800–1200° C) for 1h followed by slow
cooling (120° C/h). The duration of 1h considered was the same for all the specimens and
no other duration was considered for evaluation. The inverted torsional pendulum method …
