A seedless process has been developed to produce high-purity Zn single crystals by the method of vertical di-rected crystallization from a melt. The output of a single crystal structure is from 60 to 80%. Crystals with different growth directions were obtained: [1015] and [0002]. The deviation angles of the growth direction plane relative to the normal to the axis of the sample are 0.5...6°. Microhardness, crystalline perfection of single crystals and micro-structure have been determined. The impurity composition of the start and end parts of single crystals produced from initial grades of zinc of various purities was studied. The developed process can be used to grow single crystals low-melting metals, such as Cd, Pb, Te, In, Bi, Sn, etc.
