In a method of melting metal of a predetermined liquidus temperature, particularly a non-iron metal, such as magnesium, in a heated melting chamber into which solid metal is introduced and where a stream is generated, the parameters of flow are chosen such that the melting time is, in maximum, half the melting time without this stream under the condition that the temperature of the molten metal, when measured at at least one place in a distance of 5 mm in maximum from the solid metal, does not fall below liquidus temperature. To this end, an apparatus may be provided comprising at least one pump in a melting chamber having an associated heating device. This pump sucks the melt through at least one inlet opening and discharges the melt through at least one outlet opening. Both inlet opening and outlet opening are arranged within the melt bath of the melting chamber.
