Abstract: High Al zinc-based alloys are widely used in industry for their good ambient temperature mechanical properties and damping capacity. With the rise of service temperature its damping property increases but mechanical property decreases greatly Here two ways-alloying and spray deposition technique were adopted to improve the service temperature limitation of the alloy ZA27 in an effort to develop a new functional material with high damping capacity and good elevated temperature mechanical property. The effects of addition of 5 wt pct of Si Qn the damping behaviour and elevated temperature creep resistance of alloy ZA27 were investigated. The damping capacity, as well as the relative dynamic modulus, was measured at frequency of 1,4 Hz over the 303 to 573 K. No peak phenomenon was observed for the specimens tested in the temperature range of interest. Experimental results indicated that the damping capacity of the deposited material was 2.8 times higher than that of the cast one at 305 K. The ball hardness values were used to evaluate the creep property and the creep activation energy of the deposited material is 3.9~5.7 kJ per mol higher than that of the as-cast one. The creep rate formuIation was also derived. Finally, the operative damping and creep mechanisms were discussed in the light of the data obtained from its characterization of microstructure, damping capacity and creep reslstance
