What's the difference between fusion and vitrifiable?
Fusion
Definition:
(v. t.) The act or operation of melting or rendering fluid by heat; the act of melting together; as, the fusion of metals.
(v. t.) The state of being melted or dissolved by heat; a state of fluidity or flowing in consequence of heat; as, metals in fusion.
(v. t.) The union or blending together of things, as, melted together.
(v. t.) The union, or binding together, of adjacent parts or tissues.

Vitrifiable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being vitrified, or converted into glass by heat and fusion; as, flint and alkalies are vitrifiable.
Example Sentences:
(1) We conclude that freeze-concentration induced by heating a vitrified solution can cause less perturbations of a protein than does quenching into a freeze-concentrated state.
