The Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloy is advantageous over other titanium grades due to its high tensile strength and its high resistance against creep, cracking, and corrosion. The investigated alloy was hammer-forged inducing high strain rates in the material at a temperature of 800°C and underwent different cooling procedures. Three in that way thermomechanically treated specimens were prepared for subsequent study of the vibration behaviour of the material with the help of non-destructive, contact-free acoustic measurements. Resulting time-dependent decaying acoustic signals were analysed to investigate the dependence of the material damping behaviour on the individual downstream thermal treatment procedure and, ultimately, on the microstructural changes.

In acoustic musical instruments special attention needs to be paid to those particularly sensitive parts made of tonewood whose function is to respond to vibrations. One of the most important tonewoods is spruce because of its good resonance properties. Spruce is especially used for soundboards, these being the primary source of sound. Piano manufacturers dry their soundboards to approximately 6% wood moisture, at which drying stage they are glued into the instrument. Fluctuations of the moisture content in the wood affect the tone. With changing moisture content, the instrument can go out of tune, even cracks can appear at very low moisture content in the wood. In addition, the tone colour will change. This may result from changes in the hammer felt or from changes in the vibration properties of the soundboard. Strain- and frequency-dependent damping measurements were carried out on spruce wood at different wood moisture contents in order to investigate the effect of the moisture content on the vibration behaviour. Wood which is slowly dried in air for several years is preferably used for high-class pianos. Therefore, damping measurements on new and on more than 130-year old spruce wood samples were performed.
