Calculation of dendritic liquation (microsegregation) in a solidifying steel ingot with allowance for ionic migration

Based on the mathematical model, the analytical solution of the problem of formation of dendritic liquation for different configurations of a dendritic cell has been obtained; the use of this solution makes it possible to optimize melting processes from the viewpoint of the chemical inhomogeneity of ingots and billets.
