The invention discloses a high-damping NiTip / Al composite layer on the surface of an aluminum
alloy and a preparation method of the high-damping NiTip / Al composite layer. NiTi particles are introduced into the surface of the aluminum
alloy through a stirring friction
machining technology, and the NiTip / Al surface composite layer is successfully prepared. The NiTip / Al composite layer on the surface of the aluminum
alloy has excellent low-temperature and room-temperature damping performance, and the damping performance of the NiTip / Al composite layer is obviously superior to that of an aluminum matrix material. The maximum
internal friction values of the surface composite layer can reach 0.0126, 0.0116, 0.0120, 0.0122 and 0.0105 respectively at
room temperature (27 DEG C),-90 DEG C,-55 DEG C, 0 DEG C and 60 DEG C respectively, and are 2.17 times, 2.64 times, 2.31 times, 2.18 times and 1.78 times of the
internal friction values of the corresponding aluminum matrix material respectively, and the
internal friction values of the surface composite layer can reach 0.0126, 0.0116, 0.0120, 0.0122 and 0.0105 respectively at
room temperature (27 DEG C),-90 DEG C,-55 DEG C, 0 DEG C and 60 DEG C. NiTi particles in different aging states are adopted as reinforcing phases, so that the damping performance of the surface composite layer can be effectively improved, and the
phase change damping temperature zone of the surface composite layer can be regulated and controlled according to actual needs.
