60/40 tin-lead solid wire solder, with some exceptions, can be used to join copper and most copper alloys, lead, nickel alloys and steel. Tin-lead solders are not recommended for joints subject to high stress or vibration in the cooling industry due to lack of sufficient elongation properties. Similar to 50/50 but flows faster due to its narrow melting range. Lead bearing solders are not to be used in potable water system applications.
