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 alloy composed of lead and tin?
Solder Also Pewter is a malleable metal alloy, traditionally 85-99% tin, with the remainder consisting of copper, antimony, bismuth and lead.
What is a alloy of tin and led?
An alloy of tin and lead is known as solder. Solder is commonly used in electronics and plumbing to create connections between components and to seal joints due to its low melting point and ability to bond with different metal surfaces.
Is solder an alloy of copper or iron?
It is an alloy of copper.
What 5 metals are in amalgom brass and solder?
Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. Originally solder is an alloy of Tin and Lead. Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin, copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals.
What is alloy of solder copper or iron?
solder - alloy, typically of tin and lead although other metals are sometimes included (e.g. silver) and there are also now lead free solder alloys availablecopper - pureiron - may be mixture or alloy or pure depending on type of iron:elemental iron - pure, but mechanically weakcast iron - alloy, of iron and carbon mechanically strong but brittlewrought iron - mixture, of cast iron and slag inclusions treated with many heating and hammer forging cycles which reduces the brittleness and improves the flexibility

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 does tin and lead equal?
Tin and lead can be combined to form a solder alloy. This alloy is commonly used for joining metals in electronics and plumbing applications due to its low melting point and excellent bonding properties.
Is solder a element or a compound?
It is a mixture
Can lead be turned into wire?
Very easily. A wire form of an lead-tin alloy is often found as wire solder.

Which alloy is used to make electric fuse?
Solder ( an alloy of Lead and Tin) is used to make fuse wire because of its very low melting point.
