The cast Al-Si alloy ZL101 was prepared by metal model casting process with rare earth element Nd as the modificator.The effects of modification duration and remelting times on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated by OM,SEM,Brinell hardness tester and electronic universal testing machine.The results show that Nd has a good modification effect on ZL101 alloy,and the effect is of long-lasting and remelting properties.After the alloy is modified for 6 h and remelted by 4 times,its eutectic silicon structure is still in modification state of small slices,and its hardness and tensile properties are not significantly affected.All the tensile specimens of the alloys with different modification duration and different remelting times show cleavage fracture.
