What does solder consist of?
Solder has traditionally been a tin lead alloy, but there are many variations depending on the application:jeweler's solder or silver solder, has always contained silver to prevent the solder from dissolving silver and/or gold from the item being solderedother low melting point metals are sometimes added to make low melting point solderpure tin solder is sometimes used to eliminate toxic leadetc.Solder sold in the form of wire is sometimes hollow with a core filled with flux paste to make soldering easier without the need for extensive precleaning of the work so that the solder properly wets. For plumbing purposes (where the work can be rinsed afterwords) the flux paste is acidic and very corrosive, for electronics work the flux paste is a rosin.
Is solder a lead alloy?
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).
Is silver solder pure silver?
No.

What type of solder to use to solder charms to a silver charm bracelet?
Silver jewelry requires that you use silver solder for repairs. It is silver based where common solder is lead or tin based. Standard solder is too acidic and will corrode the jewelry. It can probably be found on e-bay. Or ask a jeweler where he or she gets it.

What kind of soldering gun is used to silver solder batteries?

Is there silver in computers?
If you're looking for treasure, it is not there. However, there are types of solder that have silver in it so there may be traces of silver in the solder joints on your motherboard.
What is the silver content of silver solder?
Solder is manufactured in hundreds of different grades and compositions for thousands of different applications. Solder that might be described as "Silver solder" is most commonly commercially manufactured in about 50 different compositions with silver contents of up to 40% and is priced accordingly. Silver solder is often used in jewellery making and repair, engineering and many electrical manufacturing processes.
What color is solder?

What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.
What works on repairing broken sterling silver?
Silver solder
What is the silver content of plumbing solder?
That would depend on the application just like tin and lead solder or tin and antimony. There are so called silver solders which is a wrong term as solder normally pertains to a lead content . It should be technically called a silver bearing alloy as per AWS specifications Depending on the tensile strength that one would want such as brazing alloys where we have joints 87,000 or low temperature silver bearing which has an average tensile strength of 16,000
