A method for determining the melting point of nonmetallic materials in a wide temperature interval (up to 2000°C) is considered. This method makes it possible to measure the melting points of individual materials, as well as identify the temperature of the emergence of a liquid phase (start of melting) in a mixture containing two or more components. The melting temperature interval of a multicomponent mixture can be determined.
