Microsegregation is a non-uniform chemical separation and concentration of elements or impurities in alloys after they have solidified.[1]

Microsegregation is a fundamental phenomenon taking place during solidification in the scale of dendrites. When an alloy is solidifying, the liquid concentration follows the liquid line in the phase (equilibrium) diagrams and solid concentration follows the solid line
