Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The analysis of damping capacity is one of the most relevant topics in current metallic materials research. While the dissipation of energy by internal friction is fundamental to mitigate vibration related issues in mechanical systems, high damping is not always desirable. An example is the current applications in energy harvest from low amplitude dynamic loads. These considerations reveal that the damping capacity of metallic materials ideally should be tailored to specific applications. Given the current advances on metallic material processing, it is fundamental to analyze their influence on their damping capacity. This Special Issue is devoted to the dissemination of these novel findings and topics include (but are not limited):

  • Damping capacity;
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis;
  • Alloy processing;
  • Alloy casting;
  • Chemical and physical melt treatment;
  • Metallurgy
  • Heat treatments;
  • Work hardening;
  • Additive manufacturing;
  • Metal matrix composites;
  • Cellular solids;
  • Dislocations.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

An A356 alloy is a classic casting light alloy, which is able to be processed into complex geometrical shapes with tailored static and dynamic mechanical properties. As a promising material to reduce fuel and energy consumption in future vehicle designs, there is an interest in understanding the impact of heat treatments on the damping capacity of this alloy. The Granato–Lücke theory is used to detail the forced vibration response in gravity cast A356. It is shown that a solution treatment enhances damping capacity in lower stress states (i.e., strain-independent regime) due to the increase in weak pinning length. However, in high-stress states (i.e., strain-dependent regime), peak-aged (T6) samples display higher damping capacity. This is proposed to be originated by releasing dislocations from weak pinning points, which start bowing in the precipitates that act as strong pinning points. Based on these results, it is shown for the first time that the selection of heat treatments to optimize damping in forced vibration is highly dependent on the expected stress–strain state and must be considered in the design of cast components.
