Research on vibration properties of copper-titanium alloys

The article addresses a method proposed for comprehensive research of vibration properties dedicated to new structural materials. The method in question comprises three-stage studies, thus enabling the related costs to be reduced on each stage of the process. Subjects of identification and assessment are both the properties and the material structure as well as numerically determined dynamic characteristics and actual vibration characteristics of materials. The article provides preliminary research results obtained for Cu-2Ti-1Co and Cu-6Ti-1Co alloys, the mechanical properties of which are very prospective. An additional advantage of the method proposed is the capability of identifying alloy types by application of non-destructive vibratory methods.
