Zn-Al alloys constitute an interesting group of foundry alloys.Due to a relatively low melting temperature,they allow a decrease in energy-consumption of the melting process and alloy preparation.The vibration damping ability is one of the most interesting properties of the Zn-Al alloys.Zn-Al alloys are divided into two groups:the low-aluminium and high-aluminium alloys.The investigated Zn-10wt.％ Al (ZnAl10) alloy is representative of the high-aluminium alloys,which,on account of its tendency of forming coarse-grained structures,has rather low plastic properties,including elongation.In order to improve the plastic properties,a modification treatment is usually applied.The dependence of the damping coefficient of the ultrasound wave on the amount of the introduced inoculant was studied.Investigations were performed using the AlTi3C0.15 inoculant as the modifier of the ZnAl10 alloy.It was found that titanium additions,in a range from 25 to 100 ppm in relation to the melted charge mass,can reduce the damping coefficient value.An increase of the inoculant addition causes a rise of the damping coefficient,which is probably related to the scattering of the ultrasound wave on Al3Ti and TiC particles introduced with the inoculant.
