Abstract
We have investigated contact fusion (CF) in the Bi-Te binary system with a complex state diagram under different programs of heating the contact of specimens in the current and currentless regimes. CF at temperatures below the fusion temperature of the lowest eutectics has been revealed. It has been established that the known state diagram of the Bi-Te system is metastable and, depending on the contact heating rate, the CF processes proceed differently. It has been shown that the values and directions of the direct current passed through the contacts of Bi and Te specimens can control the phase-formation processes and the CF kinetics.
