ömledési

ömledési is a Hungarian term that translates to "melting" or "fusion" in English. It most commonly refers to the process of a solid substance changing into a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. This phenomenon is governed by the melting point of the material, which is the specific temperature at which this phase transition occurs. For crystalline solids, the melting point is a characteristic property.

The concept of ömledési is fundamental in various scientific disciplines, including chemistry and physics. In chemistry, it is used to determine the purity of substances, as impurities typically lower and broaden the melting point range. In metallurgy, ömledési is crucial for processes like casting and welding, where metals are melted to be shaped or joined. The energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces and facilitate this change of state is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Beyond its scientific applications, ömledési can also be used metaphorically. In everyday language, it might describe the softening of emotions or the dissolution of boundaries. However, its primary and most direct meaning relates to the physical transformation of matter from solid to liquid. The reverse process, the transition from liquid to solid, is known as solidification or freezing.
