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 soldered
- other low melting point metals are sometimes added to make low melting point solder
- pure tin solder is sometimes used to eliminate toxic lead
- etc.
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 else can I help you with?
Unwanted formation of a conductive path of solder between conductors?
This is known as solder bridging, where an unintended connection forms between two conductive paths due to excess solder. It can cause short circuits and impact device functionality. Preventing solder bridging involves using the correct amount of solder and properly inspecting and cleaning the solder joints after soldering.
Is solder heterogenous or homogenous?
It could be either. Any type of liquid core solder (acid core, rosin core, etc.) is heterogenous, since there's the metal part and the core part. A solid-core solder is probably homogeneous.
What is used to help solder stick to metal?
Flux cleans the metal and helps the solder stick.
Can pure brass be soldered using plumbing solder?
No, pure brass is difficult to solder with plumbing solder because it has a high melting point and poor wettability with typical lead-based solders. It is recommended to use an appropriate flux and solder with a higher silver content for better adhesion and conductivity when soldering pure brass.
When was solder made?
Solder has been used for thousands of years, with evidence of its use dating back to around 4000 BC. The modern form of solder that we use today, typically made of a combination of tin and lead, was developed in the 19th century.
How do you solder two metals?
with solder
What are the six types of bad solder connections?
Cold solder joint: occurs when the joint doesn't fully melt, leading to poor electrical conductivity. Insufficient solder: not enough solder used, resulting in weak or incomplete bonds. Excessive solder: too much solder applied, causing bridging or short circuits. Solder balling: result of excess solder that forms into small balls. Solder splashes: occurs when excess solder splashes onto nearby components. Solder flux residue: leftover residue from flux can lead to corrosion or poor connections over time.
Is solder a metallic compound?
Solder is a metallic alloy
What is solder used in?
solder is use for to make jewles
What is a solder reel?
A reel of solder used for joining electrical circuits together on circuit boards. Solder is made of a mixture of tin and lead and sometimes has has flux (a form of acid) in the core of the solder to ensure a clean surface for the solder to flow into.
Where was the solder before he become a solder?
he is in boot camp traning
What is legal solder?
95/5 is legal solder in usa
How do you solder onto a universal pcb?
The solder wont stick.

What flux and what solder is used to solder boat propellers?
The majority of boat props are aluminum. You can't solder it, it has to be welded or heli arced.
What is a solder sucker used for?
To remove melted solder, either as clean-up from a poor solder job, or in preparation for removing a component.
Are solder joints mechanically too weak?
Depends on the solder used. If silver solder is used it is actually stronger than the pipe itself.
