Abstract
The kinetics of the formation of solid solutions of KCl and KBr crystals in contact, when one of the components is in a dispersed state, has been investigated. It is shown that contact melting of the salts KCl and KBr originates in the formation of a low-melting interlayer at the contact surface of the crystal with the lowest flow of ions across the plane separating the crystals.
