This invention is concerned with the productions of unidirectionally solidified castings and remelting-processed ingots such as ESR or VAR, which has paid special attention to the liquid flow phenomena within solid-liquid coexisting phase (mushy phase) during solidification, and made it clear for the first time that by applying high static magnetic field onto the whole mushy phase, the extremely slow interdendritic liquid flow responsible for the formation of macrosegregation can be suppressed, and thereby that the macrosegregation such as freckles can completely be eliminated. Thus, this invention provides with a novel casting technology for producing high quality castings and ingots without macrosegregation.
