Abstract: An investigation on low frequency strain amplitude dependence damping characteristic of as-cast high damping Mg-based alloys continuously extending to microplastic strain was carried out. Two-stage damping behavior via strain amplitude was particularly reported. The first is the strain amplitude strongly dependent part due to breakaway loss and the second is the strain amplitude weakly dependent part due to microplastic deformation loss, which is also frequency dependent. The damping mechanism is discussed in detail.
