に存する。D Means for solving the problem In view of the current situation, as a result of intensive research, the present inventors applied paint to one side of a pre-formed vibration damping sheet to form a hard coating, and changed the shape of the vibration damping sheet. At the same time, the hardened coating acts as a restraining layer, and acts as a damping material for the sandwich structure of steel plate surface/damping sheet/coating.
Even in the above-mentioned high temperature range, we have found an improvement in damping performance that is double that of the conventional one, and we have also created a spot seat on the vibration damping sheet to enable spot welding to the steel plate surface, allowing temporary fixing by spot welding to the steel plate surface. Afterwards, the inventors discovered that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be solved by a method of heat fusing, leading to the completion of the present invention. After that, it is molded using a mold, etc., paint is applied to one side of the damping sheet to maintain the shape of the damping sheet, and a metal spot seat is added before the process of spot welding the damping sheet to the steel plate surface. A vibration damping treatment method for a steel plate surface, in which the necessary number of damping sheets are installed, then spot welded to the steel plate surface so that the painted surface of the damping sheet does not touch, and then the steel plate surface and the vibration damping sheet are fused through a baking process.

In addition, the coating coated and cured on one side of the vibration damping sheet functions as a restraining layer for the damping material of the sandwich structure, and can also contribute to excellent vibration damping properties.
