Italian term or phrase: incrinatura da punto caldo
I have no context other than the term itself. It's a type of defect that can appear in the body of a control valve (the type used in power stations).

Hot tear formation has been observed during the solidification of a succinonitrile-acetone (SCN-acetone) alloy by pulling the columnar dendrites in the transverse direction with a stick. The cracking of the mushy zone (hot tears) always occurs at grain boundaries.
