The internal friction properties of five gold‐iron alloys on cooling from 900 °C have been studied. The parameters Q R , Δ m , τ 0 , β, and T p for the Zener peak, which was observed in all the alloys at approximately 400 °C, are discussed. Welch's theory is used to predict values for Q D in the alloys. An explanation is given for the observed decrease in Δ m on increasing the solute concentration in the two‐phase region; the precipitate is identified as iron. An increase in damping is observed on cooling through the phase boundary; a qualitative explanation is given for this effect.
