You have two options, make the wire you have thinner, or select an alloy the melts at a lower temperature.
Actually there is a possible third option - put some insulating material around it fo keep convective cooling from slowing down the blow. You would want a clear material or you would not be able to see blown links. These are the basics that any fuse designer would be concerned with and have as options. Those folks have to worry about other stuff like creepage (the distance along solid surfaces from link end to link end) and clearance (length of air gap between link ends) of faults, and arc suppression, etc. You might want to consider them as well. with a lot of DC voltage and current you can definitely have a fault arc. Tesla battery packs I have seen images of used bare wires in air. Maybe you can find out what alloy they use.
