An expression of initial slope of melting curve of pure metals was obtained as follows: (dT_m/dP)_o=T_(mo)/c, where c=1.09 (N_(at))~(5/3)z~(-1/3), the unit of c is GPa, N_(at) is the atomic concentra- tion (in 10~(28) m~(-3)), z is the valence, T_(mo) is the melting temperature (in k) of metal under one atmosphere. The calculated results for thirty-one metals agree well with experiments. It has also been proved that by using the free electron model of melting, the fusion equation of metals is Simon equation (T_m/T_(mo))q=1+(p/d). Two parameters q and d, which have to fit with experiments in Simon's empirical equation, now can be predicted theoretically, e.g. for Mg, giving q=1.56, d=7.88GPa, the calculated melting curve in a fairly wide pressure range (0～60GPa) is shown to be close to the experimental one.
