Heat treatment of damping steels with ferritic structures

Alloyed ferritic steels are primarily used as soft, magnetic materials. This article concerns the structural conditions necessary for obtaining a high (elevated) damping capacity of these steels. Regimes of damping heat treatment are discussed and systematized.Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 2, pp. 31 – 33, February, 1995.
