Solder is any of various alloys used when
melted for joining metals such as copper, its
common alloys (brass and bronze), and
tin-plated steel, as used for making food
cans. Soft solders (usually alloys of tin and
lead, sometimes with added antimony) melt at
low temperatures, about 200°C (392°F), and
are widely used in the electrical industry
for joining copper wires.
