The percentage of copper in a fuse wire is very small or non existent. Fuse wire is made from mixing different types of alloys together of aluminum, nickel, iron and chromium. The alloys result in compounds called cronifer and aluchrom. The composition of the different fuse wires results in how the characteristics of the fuse fault current is handled.
