Abstract
A metal is used as a predominant component of an outermost metallic portion of a ceramic-containing and metal-containing vibration damping coating for a metallic article, for the purpose of enhancing resistance of the coating to foreign object damage and/or erosion while substantially maintaining or enhancing vibration damping performance of the coating. The outermost metallic portion is preferably substantially free of non-metallic intrusions and cavities.
