1. A method for forming a damped component, the method comprising:
forming a friction damped insert associated with a component body, said friction damped insert being formed from a sheet of flexibly foldable or coilable material, said sheet of flexibly foldable or coilable material having first and second sides and being folded to form a prismatic bar or coiled into a configuration of a non-flat elongated body or formed into a corrugated shape, said sheet of flexibly foldable or coilable material having a plurality of perforations formed therein that are configured to allow molten material to flow therein;
forming a component to be damped; and
attaching said friction damped insert to said component to be damped.
