A new approach to improve the damping capacity and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloy at the same time is discovered by introducing the β₁′ (MgZn₂) precipitates. The β₁′ precipitates are formed in the alloy experienced solution treatment and subsequent aging at 140 °C for 18 h in this study. The synchronous improvement in mechanical and damping properties of the alloy is mainly due to the coherent orientation relationships between the β₁′ phase and the α-Mg matrix, and the shearing or bypassing of dislocations on the β₁′ precipitates depending on their sizes and spacing. The modified Granato-Lücke (G-L) model is presented in this work to analyze the favorable damping capacity of the as-aged ZK60 alloy and the interaction between the β₁′ precipitates and the mobile dislocations is a new source of energy-dissipation.
