A high damping TiC / Al composite material and its preparation are disclosed. It consists of Cu 4 - 5.3 wt%, Ti 0.15 - 0.35 wt%, Mn 0.3 - 1 wt%, Cd 0 - 0.25 wt%, V 0 - 0.3 wt%, Zr 0 - 0.2 wt%, B 0 - 0.06 wt%, TiC 0.1 - 20 wt%, and balanced of Al. It is prepared by making TiC granules contained high damping pre-fabricated blocks by high temperature vacuum sintering process, melting Al ingots, adding a coating agent on the molten Al metal and the said dry pre-fabricated blocks to melt, stirring, adding Cu, Ti, Mn or Cu, Ti, Mn, Cd or Cu, Ti, Mn, Cd, V, Zr, B to regulate chemical constituent, settling, and casting into ingots to obtain original high damping TiC / Al material. The tensile strength of the said material has obviously been increased and it can be used in development of structure-functional materials.
