The correct answer is Lead and Tin.
Key Points
- Soldering is the process of joining two metal objects together by a third soft metal alloy which is called solder.
- Solder is a metal alloy that melts at a lower temperature than the metals being soldered.
- A commonly used alloy is solder, which is an alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb).
- The alloy of tin-lead solder is a mixture of 63% tin and 37% lead. 63/37 solder melts at 183°C.
- So, Alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb) is used for welding electrical wire together.
