fusibles
Designed to melt
Fusibles are materials designed to melt or fuse under specific conditions.
In electrical work, fusibles are components that melt to break a circuit when current exceeds safe levels—the working principle behind fuses.
In sewing and crafts, fusibles are adhesive-backed fabrics or interfacings that bond when heated with an iron: Iron the fusible to the wrong side of the fabric.
