A theoretical analysis of the influence of carbon content in the steel and nature of macrostructure on segregation of impurities in the crystallization process were made. It is shown that increase of carbon content and transgranular macrostructure creation degree of segregation is being increased. A comparison of sulfur segregation in the ingot with equiaxial and transgranular structure was carried out and the theoretical points were confirmed.

The chemical and grain-size analysis of zinc dust – waste of hot – dip zinc plating were made. The research results showed that zinc dust is a dispersed waste with particles of mainly circular shape and sizes from 3 to 200 microns, and in chemical composition it mainly meets the requirements of ISO 3549. The presence of lead in the zinc dust composition, which is slightly higher than the acceptable level will be taken into account in the development of zinc-rich paints compositions. Analysis of the results of sieving of zinc dust showed that it contains particles of size £15 µm, which is about 27% of its fractional composition and which can be recommended for the manufacture of zinc-rich paints.
