“…The high damping value in Fe-Cr alloys is attributed mainly to the magneto-mechanical hysteresis effect, which is strongly correlated with microstructure, heat treatment, chemical composition, and mechanical conditions. The damping capacity is usually expressed in terms of internal friction (QÀ1) [1,3], special damping capacity (SDC) [2], as well as logarithmic decrement (d) [4]. However, some confusing conclusions based on the parameters may affect the follow-up studies and commercial applications of the alloys.…”
