The effect of melt overheating T ⁺ on the critical supercooling T ^– of liquid In₂Bi and InBi is studied by cyclic thermal analysis. It is shown that, the T ^– for In₂Bi is 2.0 K, independent of the melt preheating temperature. In contrast, the T ^– for InBi varies jumpwise with T ⁺: T ^– 1.0–1.6 K at T ⁺ < 5="" k,="" and="">T ^– 16 K at T ⁺ = 5–300 K, independent of the cooling rate (varied from 0.002 to 8.0 K/s). The solidification behaviors of In₂Bi and InBi are shown to correlate with the structures of their liquid and solid phases.
