Foundry Castings

By built up do you mean a sort of lamination? This may sound silly but what 
about plastics? They seem to be able to do just about anything with them 
and I doubt there would be any unwanted resonances there. I've even heard 
of plastics being used in brake pads for automobiles. Ceramics would be 
cool but too expensive. Seems that many different things could be used if 
one put their mind to it. I think more of the suitablilty would depend on 
the engineering of the final product rather than the material.
