Annotation
This article investigates the changes in the structure of the D16 (Al-Cu) alloy, which belongs to the aluminum-copper system, under the influence of the germanium element using experiments. A resistance furnace was used for casting the samples. The samples were cast into sand-clay molds at a temperature of 750°C. The microstructure of the cast samples was analyzed using an optical microscope, and the authors' conclusions are presented in the article.
