Solution

The alloys which are used for making the fuse wire are lead and tin.
Fuse wire has a low melting point with high resistance.
If there is a high current flow and chances of a short circuit due to overheating then fuse wire will melt and breaks the electrical appliances which save from the damage of high current in the circuit.
