Abstract
Damping in high-chromium ferritic steels is formed primarily as the result of magnetoelastic dispersion of energy, the level of which is determined by the character of interaction of the magnetic domain boundaries moving in the field of applied cyclic stresses with some subsystems of stoppers, defects of the crystalline structure. The maximum in damping capacity of Kh16, Kh16M4, and Kh25 steels is observed after annealing at 900–1000°C and is the result of superposition of individual oppositely acting on the magnetic constituent of damping contributions during evolution of structural defects under different temperature-time actions. An analysis of the contribution of different crystalline lattice defects makes it possible to predict the path of formation of the controlled level of vibration absorbing properties of high-chromium steels. The high-damping condition is characterized by a low level of internal stresses, moderate values of coercive force, and non-linearity of the elastic properties under the action of external stresses. The damping capacity after annealing in the temperature area of stratification of high-chromium ferrite and appearance of 475°-brittleness is determined by the action of two primary tendencies, the reduction of internal stresses as the result of ecomposition of the supersaturated solid solution of interstitial impurities and the subsequent increase in them as the result of stratification of high-chromium ferrite and formation of zones enriched with chromium.
