Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a damper material having high acoustic impedance and large in the attenuation of sound, by providing a mixing process, a heating process and a compacting process. CONSTITUTION:A powder mixture 3 is obtained by mixing a high m.p. metal powder 1 and a low m.p. metal powder 2 and cavities are considerably left therein. Subsequently, only the powder 2 is melted by heating the powder 3 to the m.p. of the powder 2 and the places occupied by the powder 2 are converted to cavities by the powder 2 having flowed out. Along with this, the molten powder 2 flows in the mutual narrow parts of the powder 1 by a capillary action. The powder 2 flowing in the powder 1 plays a role like lubricant when said powder is compressed by external force as shown by an arrow and sling is generated in the powder 1. The powder 3 is compacted at high density and cooled and solidified by air or water cooling to obtain a material, that is, a damper material. In this case, the damper material especially prepared by mixing a tungsten powder and a lead powder is large in the attenuation of sound because of a mixture of metals largely different in acoustic impedance. By this method, the excellent damper material can be obtained.

However, the damper material manufactured using the above method is made by bonding and bonding the particles of tungsten powder with epoxy resin and solidifying it, so it is difficult to obtain high density and the damper material's acoustic I couldn't increase the impedance.
