    What alloy do tin and lead form?

    Question #38400. Asked by TLK. (Sep 04 03 8:20 AM)


    TabbyTom

    		Pewter was traditionally an alloy of tin and lead.

    Because of the risk of poisoning, lead is no longer used: modern pewter is an alloy of tin with copper, antimony or bismuth.

    		Isn't solder also an alloy of tin and lead. I'm sure there must be others. I don't think antimony is very poisonous and isn't black coffee an antidote? Perhaps that should have been an answer to the questioner who wanted interesting facts about tea, coffee and chocolate?
