  2. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    A fusible plug is a threaded cylinder of metal, usually bronze, brass or gunmetal, with a tapered hole drilled completely through its length. This hole is sealed with a metal of low melting point that flows away if a predetermined high temperature is reached.

  3. Fusible alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_alloy

    A fusible alloy is a metal alloy capable of being easily fused, i.e. easily meltable, at relatively low temperatures. Fusible alloys are commonly, but not necessarily, eutectic alloys. Sometimes the term "fusible alloy" is used to describe alloys with a melting point below 183 °C (361 °F; 456 K). Fusible alloys in this sense are used for solder.

  4. Fusible link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_link

    A fusible plug See also: Fusible plug A mechanical fusible link is a device consisting of two strips of metal soldered together with a fusible alloy that is designed to melt at a specific temperature, thus allowing the two pieces to separate.

  5. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

    Glass cartridge and plug fuses allow direct inspection of the fusible element. Other fuses have other indication methods including: Indicating pin or striker pin — extends out of the fuse cap when the element is blown. Indicating disc — a coloured disc (flush mounted in the end cap of the fuse) falls out when the element is blown.

  6. Wood's metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood's_metal

    Like other fusible alloys, e.g. Rose's metal, Wood's metal can be used as a heat-transfer medium in hot baths. Hot baths with Rose's and Wood's metals are not used routinely but are employed at temperatures above 220 °C (428 °F). [7] At room temperature, Wood's metal has a modulus of elasticity of 12.7 GPa and a yield strength of 26.2 MPa. [8]

  7. Automotive fuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_fuse

    Limiter fuses or fusible links consist of a metal strip for currents over 10 amperes. Also referred to as Current Limiting Fuses, they feature an internal fuse element that melts when current passing through the fuse element is within the specified current limiting range of the fuse.

  8. Firebox (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebox_(steam_engine)

    The fusible plugs, usually located in the highest part of the crown sheet, have a soft metal alloy core which melts out if the water level in the boiler gets too low. Steam and water blowing into the firebox both alerts the locomotive crew to the low water condition and helps put out the fire. Not all locomotives are equipped with fusible plugs.

  9. Cerrosafe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerrosafe

    Cerrosafe is a fusible alloy with a low melting point.It is a non-eutectic mixture consisting of 42.5% bismuth, 37.7% lead, 11.3% tin, and 8.5% cadmium that melts between 70 °C (158 °F) and 88 °C (190 °F).
