Lead solder is a mixture (alloy) of lead and tin (in different proportions) that has a lower melting point than either of the components. It is used to join metal components together in electronics, lead and zinc came in stained glass windows etc.
There are also silver and gols solders for jewelry.

Why do you think it is best for a soldering iron to have a soldering stand?
Have you ever had a soldering iron roll off the table and land on your wrist, burning a hole that took over a month to heal? I did in 5th grade while building one of the Radio Shack electronics kits I had received for Christmas! Learning from that I made my own soldering stand from a small metal can and poured over a half inch of lead into the bottom from my lead soldier casting set to make sure that the weight of the soldering iron could not tilt the soldering stand!!! I was never going to run the risk of a soldering iron getting away from me again!!!!!
Is it safe to eat or drink while soldering?
No ANSWER: lead is poisonous to humans on a grand scale. like mercury It collects and add up. certainly putting solder the mouth is bad. Lead replaces calcium
Tools used for soldering?
The main tools for soldering include a soldering iron, a stand for the soldering iron, and solder. You'd likely use other tools such as brushes, picks, heat sinks, solder wick, desoldering irons, etc.
Is soldering permanent?
Soldering is more or less permanent unless you break it with a hammer or melt it with a torch.
What is cold-soldering?
cold soldering is when the soldring part is not well soldard or the soldring has being disjoint.
Can lead be airborne when soldering?
Lead is unlikely to become airborne during hand soldering because the operation occurs at a temperature much lower than the boiling point of the lead.
How do you join sheet lead?
lead burning or lap joint soldering
Where on the vehicle is lead used?
In batteries and soldering.
What materials are used in soldering?
solder tin, lead,
How do you stick two Lead sheets?
Lead "burning, Soldering with the use of lap joints
Soldering compound is an alloy of tin and lead with the formula tipb?
false
Why does solder no longer have lead in it?
Since question is not clear two answers can be given on the assumption that the question is about dry soldering. Thoroughly clean the part to be soldered, apply flux re-solder the connection. The second answer is normally lead will not be kept on a soldering point. the technician doing soldering has to use lead and flux separately. ================================ There are still solders that contain lead. The European Union prohibited excessive amounts of lead in consumer products (WEEE and RoHS), so there are lead-free solders. But there are industries in which the lead-free solders are not acceptable.

What type of soldering is a soldering gun normally used for?
Soldering irons are usually used with rosin core solder. Sometimes it has lead in it but often not since its toxic. Most of the time its for heavy soldering like heavy gauge wires or older circuit boards since the tips are fairly big. They also have a decent temperature control so anything that is delicate like large SMD soldering.
Why lead is used for soldering purpose?
Because it melts easily and is good in a solder mixture to hold wires together.

What is the difference between soldering and brazing?
Soldering and brazing both join two parts by melting a different metal as an adhesive without damaging the two parts being joined. Soldering uses a different metal that has a lower melting point (usually lead-based) than the metal used in brazing (usually silver). This allows easier joining in soldering, but a stronger bond in brazing.
