What is the Composition of fuse wire?
Fuse is an alloy of lead and tin.
What is fuse wire?
copper and tin
What is fuse wire made?
copper and tin
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
Is 60 tin and 40 lead the right percentage in solder?
yes. the metals present (including % composition) is: - 40% lead - 60% tin
What is the wire in a fuse made?
By 'fuse', I assume that you are referring to the fuse element (fuse wire), rather than the complete fuse?A fuse element is an alloy, such as tin and lead. Alloys such as these exhibit what is called 'eutectic' action. This means that the alloy retains the good conductivity (e.g. of the tin), but has a lower melting point (e.g. thanks to the lead).
What is the chemical composition of tin?
Tin.
Is it safe to use copper to repair electrical fuse?
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
Which alloy is used to make electric fuse?
Solder ( an alloy of Lead and Tin) is used to make fuse wire because of its very low melting point.
Why a fuse wire is made up of alloy of lead or tin plated copper wire?
because of its low melting point and high resistance.add. Because of the tendency of a fuse wire to become slightly warm during normal use, its surface would tend to oxidize and thus diminish its cross-section during ordinary service. Leading to premature and improper failure.So it is important to protect the surface of fuse wire against corrosion.AnswerAlloys (e.g. tin/lead) are used due to their 'eutectic' action -i.e. the resulting combination of good conductivity (due to the tin) with a low melting point due to the lead).
Which metal is used in a fuse wire?
Electric fuse wire is not made of a single metal but an alloy made of tin (63 %) & lead (37 %). The cross sectional area determines the melting point at a certain current (amps) and is also rated as volts / rating.
