This cannot happen literally or chemically but an explanation similar to the question is given below.

A solid can melt into a solid but this can happen only when we are making alloys. Suppose we are making the alloy bronze ( Cu + Sn). Then these metals are melted and mixed in different proportions. Then the mixture is cooled and the atoms freely mix and lock together to form bronze. In this process, copper is melted into tin and vice versa.
