In-Bi-Sn alloy sheet has been used as a thermal fusible parts of secondary battery safety system. This study offers a simple process to make In-Bi-Sn alloy fusible parts. The process consists of two procedures, melting and sheeting by tape casting. 62.5 wt%-In 20.0 wt%-Bi 17.5 wt%-Sn (M.P. $92.4^{\circ}C$) alloy sheet obtained by tape casting was used as the thermal fusible sheet of thermal fuse system for mobile telephone. The performance test of the system was carried out in oil bath, and the fusible alloy sheet was melted and cut off at $95^{\circ}C$. This results confirmed the possibility that the alloy sheet obtained by tape casting can be usable as a thermal fusible parts of battery safety system. And this process can be applied as a simple process to recycle the In-Bi-Sn alloy scrap separated from the used thermal fuse system.
