High damping alloys are finding more and more applications in several industrial fields as a
passive technique in vibration and acoustic attenuation. Manganese-copper based alloys are the
most potential high damping alloys. In order to improve the damping stability and workability
of the traditional Manganese-copper based alloys, M2052 high damping alloy has been
developed, which shows the superior damping behavior and the high mechanical properties. In
the present work, the properties and the application trials of the alloy are introduced.
