Melting temperatures and ranges

Melting Temperatures and Ranges

The temperature at which a single element or compound transforms from a solid to a liquid is the melting temperature. Materials that are mixtures or alloys generally do not melt at a single temperature but possess a melting range. The lower temperature of the range is the solidus temperature, below which the material is solid. The higher temperature is the liquidus, above which the material is liquid. Within the melting range, both solid and liquid are present.
