Abstract: To improve the damping capacity of metals and alloys, the microstructures and damping capacities of as spray deposited high silicon alloy ZA27 modified by 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7% cerium were studied. The microstructure of the alloy ZA27 is made up of fine lamellar eutectoid, porosity, light dot like phase and polygonal silicon rich phase. The damping capacities of the as spray deposited alloy ZA27 modified by 0.5% cerium were greatly improved. The high damping capacities attributed primarily to phase interface thermoelastic damping between the lamellar phases with various crystal substructures, except for porosities and fine grain boundaries.
