The invention provides a high-damping Mn-Cu damping
alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. The
alloy comprises chemical components of: 60.00-75.00 wt% of 2.00-5.00 wt% of Ni, 0.50-3.00 wt% of Al, 1.50-2.50 wt% of Fe, no more than 0.01 wt% of C, no more than 0.10 wt% of Si, less than 0.020 wt% of P, less than 0.020 wt% of S, no more than 0.050 wt% of N, no more than 0.010 wt% of O, one or more selected from Zr, Ti, La, Ce, Y and mixed
rare earth (Mm), and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. After heat treatment, the
alloy has damping performances as follows: Q<-1><max> of 0.035-0.055, Q<20 DEG C> <-1> of 0.020-0.040, and Q<110 DEG C> <-1> of 0.010-0.030. The alloy has high
damping capacity, good temperature stability, wide temperature range, high strength and good processability, can be processed into sectional material and strips, is applicable to the parts requiring vibration and
noise reduction in the fields of
aviation and space flight, navigation,
nuclear industry, automobile manufacturing,
electrical equipment and precision instruments and
instrumentation, and can play the roles of reducing the
vibration transmission, reducing
noise and prolonging the service life of structural components.
