8.Summary of Research Results

1. Development of high strength (or high specific-strength) and high damping materials: We have succeeded in developing various high damping materials with a strength of 1GPa or higher than 1GPa. Examples are Ti-Ni-Cu intermetallic compounds, Fe-Cr-Mn steel added by Co and hydrogenated bulk metallic glasses. We have developed high specific-strength material, e.g., for sintered Mg-Cu-Mn alloys.
2. Development of Materials with high damping at high temperatures: We have succeeded in developing new ceramics compounds. An example is sintered oxide ceramics containing superelastic YnbO4, which shows high damping from the room temperature to 800°C. We have succeeded in making C/C composites relatively high damping by an oxidation treatment.
3. New characterization procedures: We have successfully developed for the first time an apparatus of damping capacity measurement at high temperature and under high tensile loading. We have developed a method of characterizing damping properties by use of a supersonic attenuation.
4. Application of new high damping materials to practical purposes: We have tried to apply newly developed high damping materials to about 30 machinery and tools, and many of them are found to be successfully applicable but some are not before improving some other properties than damping.
