We say that a fuse failed when it actually succeeded at doing its job.
That may seem like a weird thing to make a pedantic post about unless... Well, just look at the pictures.

I think I usually say dead fuse. One could say it died a hero.

I found footage of that fuse being welcomed to fuse heaven.
Same, I actually don't know if I've ever heard someone say "failed fuse". It's usually "blown" or "burnt"
