That is a very good point. However even the One Ring didnt melt right away. Now I would... Assume.. that with the Sword put into the Lava wouldnt melt right away either. And since the Sword took in the Basalisk Vemon within the few seconds Harry stabbed it and withdrew it... I would assume that just dipping it in would draw in the power and keep it from melting. The sword would not need to be IN the lava for very long beyond a few seconds.This of course is just me taking a guess.
