Macrosegregation has long been a topic of engineering importance, with recorded publications on the subject extending back nearly half a millennium. The phenomenon has assumed new importance in recent decades with the advent of new casting processes including continuous casting. This lecture reviews our current understanding of macrosegregation, with particular reference of carbon steel ingots and continuous castings. Aspects of the problem are noted where our understanding remains weak.
