Which property of solder makes it suitable for welding electrical wires?
It has a low melting point but has excellent electrical conductivity.
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.
What is the boiling point of lead-tin solder at the eutectic point?
The melting poit is 183 0C; the boiling point is not determined.
What is the melting temperature for epoxy glue?
The melting point of solder is around 300 degrees C. The low melting point is the reason it is useful for soldering.The melting point of solder will depend on what the solder of composed of. The most common solder has a melting point of 361.4 degrees F.
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).
What is the lowest temperature that melts soft solder?
The melting point depends on the solder. The lowest I've seen is 395F.
Solder - lead and tin uses?
A solder is a metal or alloy that has a melting point range of 90 to 450 degrees Celsius (200 to 840 degrees Fahrenheit). The melting point range makes sure that the metal or alloy is easily handled at room temperature, can be melted to join other metallic surfaces when a moderate amount of heat is applied, and returns to a solid state when it cools down to make the joining permanent. Lead has a melting point of 327.46 degrees Celsius (621.43 degrees Fahrenheit) and therefore it can be used as solder. Mercury, however, has a melting point of -38.83 degrees Celsius (-37.89 degrees Fahrenheit) and it is liquid even at room temperature. Therefore it cannot be used as solder because a liquid that does not solidify cannot be expected to join two surfaces permanently.
What is solder melting point?
Depends on the kind of solder.
Is lead a liquid?
Yes , if it has a melting point it can turn into a liquid... if you wan to know the melting point of lead this is it: 327.5 C
Is there another low melting point metal used in wire besides lead?
Yes, "Solder", here is an excerpt and a site to explain: == Solder is a tin-lead fusible alloy, although small amounts of other metals such as antimony, bismuth, or silver may be included to enhance its characteristics or make it suitable for a special purpose. Solder flows at a fairly low temperature, around 360-370 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of its relatively low melting point, solder can for a metallic union or "joint" of two metals well below their own melting points. So solder can easily be melted by home- workshop soldering irons, guns, and pencils to make connections between metals. * http://www.oldtemecula.com/theremin/solder1.htm
Which property of solder makes it suitable for welding electrical wires?
It has a low melting point but has excellent electrical conductivity.
What is the melting point of lead azide?
Lead azide's melting point is 350 C. It would also explode when it reaches this temperature.
What is the subsatnce is used to join metals together such as pipes?
Solder. It is an alloy of lead and tin, with a (relatively) low melting point. It only works with Copper or lead pipes.

What type of ore do you get solder from?
Solder is a mixture of various metals and elements that have a melting point lower than the metal that is intended to be brazed. Some of these metals are tin, bismuth, lead, and antimony, among others.
What melts at 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit?
Tin and Lead-based solder. I have noi further information. there are different alloys with differing melting points. Acid-Core solder is NOT used in electronics work.
