The results show that the number and distribution of pores are the key factors affecting the mechanical properties of ZA27. A slow solidification rate is beneficial to the ductility, while a rapid solidification rate improves the tensile strength of alloy basically. Among the modification agents RE, Sb Te, Sb Te RE and Sb Te Ti B, the addition of Sb Te to melt results in the best modified microstructure.
