dc.description.abstract	Influence of Zn content (0, 0.5, 1.5, 4 and 6 wt%) on the hot tearing characteristics of Mg–2 wt% Ca alloy was investigated. The constrained rod casting (CRC) apparatus equipped with a load cell and data acquisition system was used. The initiation of hot tearing was monitored during solidification. The effect of mould temperatures (250 and 450 C) on the hot tearing was also investigated. The formed tears were evaluated using X-ray tomography and the tear volumes were measured. Results show that hot tearing susceptibility (HTS) of Mg–2Ca–xZn (x = 0, 0.5, 1.5, 4 and 6 wt%) alloys increases with increase in Zn content up to 1.5 wt%, then decreases with further increase in the Zn content to 6 wt%.
