Solder is used to connect electric wires or other metal parts together. Solder poisoning occurs when someone swallows solder in large amounts. It can also cause burns to the skin.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. Do NOT give water if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
Before Calling EmergencyDetermine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
What to expect at the emergency roomThe health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Breathing tube
- Bronchoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the airways and lungs
- Dialysis
- Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids by IV
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the poison
- Oxygen
- Surgical removal of burned skin (skin debridement)
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)
- Washing of the skin (irrigation) -- perhaps every few hours for several days
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Outcomes depend on the type of poison swallowed:
- Ethylene glycol is extremely poisonous.
- Complete recovery from lead poisoning takes a year or more. It may cause permanent brain damage.
- If the amount of zinc or tin swallowed is low, recovery should occur within approximately 6 hours.
- Skin color changes due to silver poisoning are permament.
- Long-term poisoning with antimony and cadmium may lead to lung cancer.
- Recovery from acid poisoning depends on how much tissue has been damaged.

Traditional electronics solder also contains resin.

Solder containing lead and tin is commonly used in electronics and plumbing applications for joining metals together. The lead content helps reduce the melting point of the solder, making it easier to work with, while the tin provides good conductivity. However, there are health and environmental concerns associated with the use of lead in solder, leading to the development of lead-free alternatives.

Wedding rings can be soldered by your or any other jewelery but at least, go to a jeweler you trust. Soldering is quite fast process. It only takes a few minutes. However time required for returning the wedding rings varies. If your jeweler is able to solder them in his/her store, it's possible to pick your rings up later on the same day. If your jeweler has to send them off-site, it could take a week to several weeks.Therefore, it would be better to ask to your jewelery how long it will take.

- Cold solder joint: occurs when the joint doesn't fully melt, leading to poor electrical conductivity.
- Insufficient solder: not enough solder used, resulting in weak or incomplete bonds.
- Excessive solder: too much solder applied, causing bridging or short circuits.
- Solder balling: result of excess solder that forms into small balls.
- Solder splashes: occurs when excess solder splashes onto nearby components.
- Solder flux residue: leftover residue from flux can lead to corrosion or poor connections over time.

A reel of solder used for joining electrical circuits together on circuit boards.
Solder is made of a mixture of tin and lead and sometimes has has flux (a form of acid) in the core of the solder to ensure a clean surface for the solder to flow into.

This is known as solder bridging, where an unintended connection forms between two conductive paths due to excess solder. It can cause short circuits and impact device functionality. Preventing solder bridging involves using the correct amount of solder and properly inspecting and cleaning the solder joints after soldering.

Solder has to be heated in order to melt it for removal, usually by a soldering iron. Then the removal methods can vary. You can get a braided solder remover from a local electronics store that when applied to the melted solder will "wick up" the melted solder.
Then there's the vacuum bulb or vacuum hand held solder pump that is used by placing it on the melted solder and either by releasing the bulb or tripping a lever, will literally suck the solder from the connection.
Soldering is easy to learn but there are pitfalls if you're not familiar with the techniques, proper sizes of soldering irons, etc.

Solder typically melts at temperatures between 180°C to 190°C (360°F to 375°F), depending on the type of solder alloy being used.

The compound symbol for solder can vary depending on the specific composition. Common solder compounds include tin-lead solder (Sn-Pb) and lead-free solder such as tin-silver-copper (Sn-Ag-Cu) or tin-copper (Sn-Cu).

A Conductor, SOLDER IS NOT AN INSULATOR. The most common types of solder are made of tin and lead. Another type is silver solder. All of the materials used are metals and are good conductors of both heat and electricity.
If you solder something you would notice if you ever held a wire (without protection) while applying solder to it your finger would probably receive a burn (speaking from experience).

Silver jewelry requires that you use silver solder for repairs. It is silver based where common solder is lead or tin based. Standard solder is too acidic and will corrode the jewelry. It can probably be found on e-bay. Or ask a jeweler where he or she gets it.

It could be either. Any type of liquid core solder (acid core, rosin core, etc.) is heterogenous, since there's the metal part and the core part.
A solid-core solder is probably homogeneous.

You can solder stainless steel parts together, but you cannot use it as solder. You would need to use silver bearing solder. Also you need a torch, you will not be able to use a simple solder pen as it doesn't produce enough heat.

The chemical formula for solder can vary depending on the type of solder being used, but a common formula is Sn (tin) mixed with Pb (lead), known as Sn-Pb solder. The ratio of tin to lead can differ, with common ratios being 60% tin and 40% lead (60/40 solder) or 63% tin and 37% lead (63/37 solder).
