The infiltration casting method is used for the preparation of three-dimensional co-continuous network structure of graphite/cast steel composite material in atmospheric pressure. Using modal analysis method, flake graphite cast iron specimen and composite sample are compared about damping factors. The results show that amplitude attenuation of the composite material is more quickly than that of flake graphite cast iron specimens. Supported in two rigid points state, the first step damping ratio of the composite material is 2.1 times of flake graphite cast iron. At the same time, its tensile strength is 1.54 to 1.68 times that of flake graphite cast iron, its hardness reaches more than 86%, and its bulk density is reduced to less than 94%. The composite not only has good vibration damping and anti-friction performance, but also has comprehensive mechanical properties exceeding the level of flake graphite cast iron. It is possible to replace flake graphite cast iron for manufacturing important mechanical equipment castings such as fuselage and guide rail to obtain better anti-wear / vibration damping effect.
