Solution

Fuse wires are made of Tin-lead alloy as they have low melting point as well as the have the high resistance.
The alloy result in good functioning of the fuse. As the tin cause the good conductivity property . Also the low melting point occur due to the lead.
Other wise the fuse can cause problem due to the surface corrosion.
