    Cast iron is likely to have lower vibration absorption than ductile iron for the following reasons: 1) In cast iron, the graphite morphology interrupts the metal matrix, reducing vibration propagation, whereas in ductile iron the spherical graphite does not interrupt the matrix. 2) Experiments show that as metal strings are stretched, micro ruptures between grains induce dislocations that block grains and reduce damping. 3) Cast iron has grains trapped by dislocations making it brittle, while ductile iron's greater damping is due to its ductility. Therefore, cast iron is expected to have less damping.

    Are there significative differences in absorption of vibrations between cast iron and

    ductile iron?
    In grey iron the morphology of the graphite interrupts the matrix, in consequence, the
    propagation of vibrations is reduced, however in ductile iron the spheroidal shape of the
    graphite does not interrupt the matrix . i would like to know if; there are differences in
    absorption of vibration in this materials?, and, if the behaviour of the materials is different;
    there are significant differences?
    Thanks

    My answer to your question will be counter intuitive. My experience is that of musical


    metallic strings. The experiments we conducted show a reduction of the damping coefficient
    when metallic strings are stretched on a bench with ad hoc sensors. For a string were never
    tense, is measured at the time T0 the damping coefficient of each of its eigenmodes ; then we
    repeat these measures over time, T1, T2, T3... We then noticed a decrease in the damping for
    all eignemodes, then, after awhile, damping stop decrease, and it is at this time that musicians
    feel that the string has reached its optimum qualities. The metal strings of iron, steel, brass,
    copper ... all have the same behaviour. Strings are drawn stock passing through dies, which
    means that the grains, closely bonded together, present a continuity for wave deformation
    propagation ; the damping depends on the propagation of waves in the metal crystal. When
    the string is stretched, it occurs then micro ruptures between grains which induce dislocations
    in the macro structure of the metal. These dislocations have the effect to block the grains
    between them and thus allow a reduction of the damping [1]. All this, the theory and the
    calculaion are in the book by Claude Valette and Christian Cuesta, Mcanique de la corde
    vibrante , dition Herms, Paris, 1993.
    All this to say that I think the cast iron must have less damping than ductile iron. Indeed, the
    iron is characterized by grains trapped by dislocations (that is why the iron is brittle,
    breakable and non-ductile), while the soft ductile iron has a greater damping. Moreover the
    musicians of harpsichord and piano forte of the beginning of the 19th century set up of iron
    strings know that the strings spend several months before speaking
