The solidification of multicomponent melts with large solidification ranges, such as corium-concrete mixtures is studied. A methodology to estimate relevant physical properties from a thermodynamical computation is presented and applied to an experiment performer in the VULCANO facility. A thermal analysis provides the orders of magnitude of the solidification kinetics for the observed microstructures. Various phenomena in which physico-chemistry is coupled with heat transfer are described : the corium rheology, which affects convection, depends on the physico-chemistry and on the cooling rate; the density gradients which cause natural convections are strongly dependent of the solidification rate; solidification at the substratum contact creates a large thermal contact resistance which reduces sharply heat transfer at this interface.
