The enthalpy of fusion also known as (latent) heat of fusion is the change in enthalpy resulting from heating a given quantity of a substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid. The temperature at which this occurs is the melting point.

The latent heat required for a solid to melt into liquid is called the Latent of Fusion.
This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of the substance undergoing a state change and thus doesn't show its presence by increasing temperature.
