The two most commonly used metals in solder are?
tin and lead
What are the physical and chemical properties of solder?
Solder is a mixture of various metals. Its physical property is that it melts at fairly low temperatures, not so low that it melts when this is undesired. Its reactions are the same as the component metals.
What is 955 solder made from?
This means a 95.5% tin alloy with 4.5% other metals. You will have to check the solder's specification sheet to determine the other metals and now much of each is present.
Special property of solder?
Solder has a relatively low melting point, and it wets many different metals allowing it to be used to join (solder) them together. It is also fairly resistant to corrosion when the correct solder alloy is applied to the work. We see a lot of solder used in electrical and electrical applications, so it's a fairly good electrical conductor.
Why is an alloy called solder used for welding?
It isn't. It's called soldering when you join two pieces of metals together using a 3rd metal with a very low melting point. Welding, then both the "parent" metals and the added metals are melted. Usually at a lot higher temperature.
How do you solder two metals?
with solder
The two most commonly used metals in solder are?
tin and lead
What 2 alloys are in solder?
Standard solder is an alloy of the two metals tin & lead. However there are countless other alloy variants with other metals in the blend for various purposes.
What is alloy of tin?
No. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Tin is a metal by itself. Tin can still be made into an alloy. Such alloys are pewter or solder.
What element is used to make a mixture solder used in joining wires?
usually a mixture of tin and lead metals are used
Can gold be welded?
YES. Seeing gold can be melted it can be welded also. As welding is the melting of two types of similar metals to be joined to make one. I bet it is more common to braze or solder it.
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
Is solder a element or a compound?
It is a mixture
What element is in solder?
Solder can be configured with several different types of metals. For instance, silver solder would contain a portion of silver along with another metal. Common electrical solder usually contains a mixture of tin and lead in the ratio of 60/40. That too can vary if the manufacturer wants to make a solder that requires a higher tempreature to melt it.

What is a solder and how does it work?
Turn the soldering iron on.Clean the surfaces to be soldered. Any tarnish will make a bad joint.Put the two things you want to solder together.When the iron is ready, place it on where you want to join the two objects.Slightly tilt the side if the point of the iron up, enough for the solder to fit in, and feed the solder in.Keep hold of the two objects until the solder is cool, otherwise the will just come apart.
