An investigation of the kinetics of contact melting 
of the complex system Te-Tl under unsteady diffusion conditions 
is made. The growth of the contact interlayer obeys a parabolic law. 
The interdiffusion coefficient is calculated in the temperature 
range 260-300oC. It has been found that  
virtually does not change within the temperature range 260-280oC. 
The effect of decrease in the temperature of contact melting relative 
to the equilibrium eutectic is established. A relationship between 
the superheating of a melt of the stable eutectic and the magnitude 
of its supercooling is found.
