   Solder
   A low melting point alloy used in numerous joining applications in microelectronics. The most common solders are lead-tin alloys. Typical solder contains 60% tin and 40% lead - increasing the proportion of lead results in a softer solder with a lower melting point, while decreasing the proportion of lead results in a harder solder with a higher mel...

   solder
   A fusible alloy used to join two or more metals at temperatures below their individual melting points. Solders which melt readily are ‘soft solders`, others fusing at a higher temperature (usually taken as above 425°C) are ‘hard solders`. Solders consisting mostly of tin and lead are normally used for soldering electronic assemblies. The tin in so ...

    Solder
    A `solder` is a fusible metal alloy with a melting point or melting range of 180 to 190 ðC (360 to 370 ðF), used in a process called soldering where it is melted to join metallic surfaces. It is especially useful in the fields of electronics and plumbing. The word solder comes from the Middle English word `soudur`, via Old French `solduree` and `soulder`, from the Latin `solidare`, meaning '‘to make solid`'. In North American countries the wor...
