Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of a Composite Material on the Example of an Aluminum Alloy D16

The article is devoted to the review of a composite material with a matrix of aluminum alloy D16 of the Al-Cu-Mg system (duralumin). The creation of a composite is being considered, namely, various physical and chemical properties are being studied, which together should lead to the creation of a new material. The development of scientific and technological progress leads to stricter requirements for the technological and operational properties of heat-resistant aluminum alloys, therefore it is important to improve the properties of composite materials in various ways. Aluminum alloys of the Al-Cu-Mg system are promising materials due to the combination of high values of specific static strength and heat resistance. The result of the development is to find certain characteristics that will eventually allow us to obtain a complete picture of changes in the microstructure and phase composition of the Al-Cu-Mg alloy. And we will also be able to obtain a polycrystal without pores with inclusions of eutectic composition evenly distributed over the volume.
