The melting of the material is regarded as the moving boundary problem of the heat conduction equation. In this paper, the method of fundamental solution is extended into this kind of problem. The temperature function was expressed as a linear combination of fundamental solutions which satisfied the governing equation and the initial condition. The coefficients were gained by use of boundary condition. When the metal wire was melting, process of the moving boundary was gained through the conversation of energy and the Prediction-Correlation Method. A example was given. The numerical solutions agree well with the exact solutions. In another example, numerical solutions of the temperature distribution of the metal wire were obtained while one end was heated and melting.
