From what I can seem to find this stuff is mainly for electronics, but I was curious so I'll ask the HAMB. For a while now my dad has had 12 1 pound sticks of 62SN/36Pb/2Ag. Everywhere I have seen"body solder" it is around 70Pb/30Sn. I'm pretty positive I have answered my own question, but could any leading be accomplished with such comparatively low lead content? What is the difference? Besides the melting point, would it be any easier/harder to work with, and most importantly, strong enough? This may seem a bit stupid, but you never REALLY know untill ya ask, right?
Dude there was an article in issue 12 of OSR, interview with Bill Hines. The Lead MAN! He uses his own blend of lead 25/75. Read it if you haven't already. It's a good tech article, and should answer your question.
sounds like really good solder for electronics...high strength, but higher melting point than body lead. ebay material
