fusible

Able to melt

Fusible means capable of being melted or fused, typically by heat.

The term appears in technical contexts describing materials that liquefy at relatively low temperatures: fusible metal alloys, fusible plugs in boilers.

A fusible link is a safety device designed to melt and break a circuit when overheated.
