Abstract
WHEN a mass of molten steel, originally of uniform composition, solidifies, the analysis of the resulting ingot shows variations from point to point due to local segregations of the various constituents. The extent of this variation differs widely in different cases, and certainly increases with poor steel-making technique. Even with the best of conditions, however, segregation inevitably occurs, and the Iron and Steel Institute appointed in 1924 an important committee to investigate this point and to discover, amongst other things, to what extent segregation must be considered to be inevitable even with the very best steel-making practice.
