In this work, the segregation of solute elements in magnesium alloys AZ91D and AM60B in a crucible during hot-chamber die casting process has been investigated. The sampling of molten metal for chemical composition analysis was carried out at three positions within a crucible of 600 mm in depth. The picked molten metal was poured into a steel mold to cast into a rod 40mm diameter and 120mm length.
