You can put the steel pipe inside of the lead and melt the lead to seal it. That's takes experience and some talent. You can join them with a rubber sleeve that is the right size on each end and held in place with hose clamps.
One cannot solder/ lead wipe lead to steel as one is ferrous and the other non ferrous metal You can lead wipe /solder lead to copper /bronze / brass To join to steel one had to lead wipe a brass nipple (called solder nipple) into the lead pipe and you have either male or female threads and then a union or left and right nipple and coupling to make a proper connection.''
By the way you cannot do a lead poured joint of steel into lead you can put the steel into a cast Iron hub and then use a caulked joint.
Also the use of a no hub or a mechanical coupling will not be good for a water or gas tight against a lead pipe as lead is to soft.

How did they join lead pipes?
Lead pipes were typically joined using a method called "soldering," where molten lead was applied to the joint to create a seal. This process involved heating the ends of the pipes and then melting lead to fill the gap between them, ensuring a watertight connection. Additionally, some joints were made using threaded fittings, where the pipes were screwed together. However, due to health concerns over lead exposure, the use of lead pipes has been largely phased out in modern plumbing.
What type of welding is used to join pipes?
It depends on the material of the pipes
Why were cast iron pipes replaced by PVC pipes?
Pvc pipes are cheaper. They are easier to join. They last longer.
Why the water pipes should not be suppliesd through lead pipes?
The lead will leach into the water and give you lead poisoning.
A plumber has put 18 gallons of antifreeze into my water pipes can the antifreeze interact with copper or lead pipes or pipes with lead soddering and cause contamination to the water?
I can't think you are talking drinking water pipes because anitfreeze is poisonous. Nor should you have lead pipes or lead solder in drinking water pipes. So either sleeve pipes or heating pipes then. Antifreeze has inhibitors designed to prevent corrosion.
What element replaced lead for use in water pipes?
Iron replaced lead in water pipes.
What is the subsatnce is used to join metals together such as pipes?
Welding is the process used to join metals together such as pipes. It involves using a combination of heat and pressure to melt the metals at their joint, allowing them to bond when cooled. Soldering and brazing are also common methods for joining metals with the use of a filler material that melts at a lower temperature than the base metals.
What is the best way to join copper pipes?

Where do the pipes lead?
to your toilet
Are lead pipes safe for use in plumbing systems?
Lead pipes are not considered safe for use in plumbing systems because lead can leach into the water supply, posing health risks such as lead poisoning. It is recommended to replace lead pipes with safer alternatives.
What is soldering gun used for?
It melts solder. Solder was originally a mix of lead and tin that was used to join copper to copper (pipes and wiring) It is in the shape of a pistol, but does not shoot anything.
When were lead pipes banned in the UK?
Lead pipes were banned in 1969 because lead is poisonous, especially for the vulnerable (children, pregnant women and the elderly). But, many pre-1970s homes will still have lead pipes today and they have been used in the UK for drinking water for almost 2000 years. The lead content in water is significantly reduced by calcium deposits etc on the inside of pipes but many home owners prefer to replace lead with copper pipes when renovating.
