In this topic, you study Fuse Wire Material.
Metals like tin, lead, zinc, silver, antimony, copper and aluminium can be used for fuse elements. However, metals with low melting points like tin, lead, zinc or lead-tin alloys are found more suitable for this purpose. The main objection for the lead-tin alloys is that these alloys being soft are apt to spread under pressure. The most preferred lead-tin alloys for a fuse element contain 37
