The term melt is often used to mean a change of phase, from solid to liquid, that happens because of heat, rather than because of dissolving. Ice melts when it gets warm enough, it does not have to dissolve in order to melt. Dissolving is a process by which one substance changes the phase of another, from solid to liquid, because of a chemical affinity that the two substances have, rather than because of temperature. The term melt can have either meaning, whether the change of phase is driven by heat or by chemical affinity.
