The quality of the delivered strips depends ‐ among other things ‐ on the internal structure of the slabs. Solidification phenomena as micro‐ and macro‐segregation are of particular importance. This paper deals with the micro‐ and macro‐segregations in slabs of the steel grades DP and S355. The method for the investigation of segregations based on electron probe microanalysis is described in brief. Characteristic values of segregations are derived from quantitative element distribution images. These results serve as a basis for decisions on further processing steps in the hot and cold rolling mill.
