Most commonly, but antimony is another basic component of some solders. The European Union, China, and California are areas where lead solder is banned in consumer products.
Tin-lead solders were most often used because they are easily melted and inexpensive. Lead-based solders have a few problems which are reducing their popularity:
- Environmental concerns about e-waste
- Worker safety concerns for people who constantly work with solder
- The low melting point, which is not suitable for modern microprocessors
Any metal which is melted to bond to another metal is a solder. Silver solder is used to repair silver jewelry, and gold solder to repair gold.
Silver solder is also used in food-grade Plumbing.
Drinking water is soldered with lead-free solder (but lead was used in nearly all plumbing soldering until the late 1980s).
