Soft solder is a _______ tin alloy.

Soft solder is a _______ tin alloy. Correct Answer Eutectic

Soft solder is a tin alloy containing 20-70% tin and remaining lead. This eutectic structure, with 63% tin, is used in the electrical industry. Alloys with 50% tin are a general purpose solder. Lower tin content (15-20%) is used for dipping solders for automotive radiator cores.
