Abstract
All The metal composite was prepared in this research by utilizing waste of aluminum and gray cast iron chips in supporting the global program of sustainable recycling-oriented society. The process was carried out via hot extrusion at 400°C. Three compositions were provided in this research, namely the composition of aluminum chips with addition 0 vol.%, 20 vol.%, and 40 vol.% of gray cast iron chips. Increasing the gray cast iron was found affect on reducing the natural frequency of the product. Addition about 20 vol.% of gray cast iron decreases the value of damping capacity. Conversely, addition about 40 vol.% gray cast iron increases the value of damping capacity significantly. It was also found that the addition of gray cast iron could extend the isolation region and decreased the transmissibility at the isolation region.
