Ceramic fuses

What do the "legs" of audio components have to do with the metals used in fuses

No wonder your a "fuser" if you had to ask that. 

Keep drinking that Vegemite moonshine, Georgie.

Gday, when I started this thread, I never thought it would end up like this. 
All I was asking about, was, the possible difference between Gold and Rhodium.
I've appreciated all the input, forum members have put in. 
I feel, people should be allowed to voice their opinions, within reason, without ridicule. 
If people want to keep contributing, please feel free. 
Also, I live in Australia, and let me tell you, Vegemite is better on toast..........!!

Lol, Ricey. This forum can be a wealth of information, but you'll have to put up with some of the members' idiosyncrasies.

Of course it is what else would we put it on, the yanks use it as axle grease I heard, they have no idea.

Like I said ricey OP , no difference between Gold and Rhodium plating on fuses, as the thousands of components (resistors transistors capacitors diode etc etc) in your equipment, have (nickel plated) steel legs, so are the fuse holders and the IEC mains socket and plugs.

Actually it’s better if the ends of a fuse are made out of plane nickel plated steel, just like the fuse holders themselves are.
As dissimilar metals with current running through them causes corrosion to occur and will carbon up at the contact points very quickly.
