Abstract The effect of misch metal, Ti, Ni and Mn on damping capacity of Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys and the optimum heat treatment condition for high damping of the alloy have been studied. Specific damping capacity(SDC) of both Cu-Zn-Al alloys and the elements added Cu-Zn-Al alloys show amplitude dependence and increase with increasing maximum strain amplitude. Maximum SDC of the Cu-Zn-Al alloys are not dependent of composition, but nearly constant about 42% in the range of transformation temperature. Maximum SDC of the elements added alloys is, however, decreased a little but the step quenching and low temperature aging process is suitable heat treatment condition to increase in SDC of the elements added alloys.
