heat of fusion [′hēt əv ′fyü·zhən] (thermodynamics) The increase in enthalpy accompanying the conversion of 1 mole, or a unit mass, of a solid to a liquid at its melting point at constant pressure and temperature. Also known as latent heat of fusion. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

| Tool life is expected to be better r than the aluminum permanent mold process due to the lower latent heat of fusion of magnesium alloys and the very low solubility of iron in magnesium. The maximum heat of fusion obtained in the films was directly proportional to the crystallization temperature; larger heats of fusion occurred in films crystallized at higher temperatures. Once the temperature of the solid loop was raised to the melting point, which is at 2,066F (1,130C), the temperature of the loop didn't increase because the energy was being used to satisfy the heat of fusion requirements to melt tire iron. |
