Electrical Engineering	The heat lost or gained by a substance in passing from a solid state to a liquid state or a liquid to a solid state, at a constant temperature. Source: European Union. (references)
Physics	The quantity of heat required to change unit mass of a substance from the solid to the liquid state without change of temperature. If an alloy having a solidification(or fusion)range instead of a unique fusion temperature is considered, practical calculations may be done with the balanced mean value of the heat of fusion of the components and adding for the solidification range the average of the specific heat of the solid and of the liquid alloy multplied by the difference of temperature between the limits of this range.

Specialty Definition: Heat of fusion

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Heat of fusion is the heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid chemical element at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature. The heat of fusion is equal to the heat of solidification.

The energy that goes into melting a solid is used to dissociate the intermolecular bonds holding its molecules in place rather than to increasing the average thermal velocity of the molecules.
