The short answer: Yes.
The Long Answer: In Layman's terms yes, but not necessarily.
It depends on who you're talking to. If you are talking to anyone working on electrical things, they think of fuses for electrical circuits. Fuses for electrical circuits protect electronics (any device needing electricity) from an overload. Many devices need a lot more electricity to start up than to keep running. A time delay fuse will allow for a small spike in the current (start up) and not burn out. A regular fuse will not allow for any spike in the current and break. I have not yet heard anyone refer to a time delay fuse as a slow burn fuse, but it could be called that.
A slow burn fuse has to do with pyrotechnics and chemical rockets. It is simply a fuse that burns slowly. I could also see the terms being used interchangeably in this case too.

Why use a Time delay fuse versus non time delay?
A time delay fuse will allow for a temporary spike in the current (up to 100 or 200% of the fuse rating), such as when starting a motor. A regular (non-time delay fuse) will not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. If you have a motor that pulls 2 amps while running, but pulls 6 ampls while starting, then you will want to use either a 6 amp non time delay fuse, or a 2 amp time delay fuse. If you are talking about pyrotechnics, a time delay (properly called a slow burning) fuse will give you more time to run for cover.
Is FRN fuse same as NON Fuse?
no A FRN fuse is a slow blow fuse where an non is a fast blow fuse. In a pinch a slow blow fuse can be use in a fast blow circuit but not the other way around.
What does w or t mean on fuses?
I know the "T" stands for time-delay. Also known as a slow-blow fuse. Not sure about the "W"
What does a 4a 250v slow blow fuse normally LOOK LIKE and Is it supposed to look like a fast blow with a bead of solder in the middle?
The information of, if the fuse is a slow blow or not, is printed on the fuse. In electrical terminology it is known as a time delay fuse. Smaller glass envelope time delay fuses will have a spring mechanism that can be seen through the glass envelope. Time delay fuses are used in circuit that have a high inrush current when the device is first switched on. A good example of this would be an electric motor. The bead of solder on the end of glass fuses is how the spring is supported to the end cap of the fuse.
What does possible's slow fuse mean?
slow fuse
When was Slow to Burn created?
Slow to Burn was created in 1996.
To delay and be slow of movement?
later
What is the duration of Slow Burn?
The duration of Slow Burn is 1.55 hours.
What is the Characteristic of slow blow fuse?
It depends on the precise type of slow blow fuse, but in general terms a fuse with a slow blow characteristic will take longer to operate (blow) at high overload currents than one with a normal characteristic. For low overload currents it will operate in about the same time as a normal fuse.
When was Slow Burn created?
Slow Burn was created on 2005-09-13.
When was Slow Burn released?
Slow Burn was released on 04/13/2007.
What was the Production Budget for Slow Burn?
The Production Budget for Slow Burn was $15,500,000.
