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.

Keywords: crystallization of steel, dendritic liquation, diffusion, 
mathematical modeling, electric field, ionic migration.
