Question
What are the constituents of solder alloy? Which property of solder makes it suitable for welding electrical wires?
Solution
The main constituents of solder alloy are tin and lead in a ratio of 60 : 40. Solder alloy has a low melting point of 188° C, this low melting point makes it suitable for soldering electrical wires.
