As far as we can tell, the inner core of our planet is made of a mixture of nickel and iron. The high temperature, under normal pressure, would melt nickel and iron, however, the core is under enormous pressure because of the weight of the mantle and crust, which are on top of it, and pressure tends to push substances in the direction of a more solid phase.
