The benefit of 63/37 is not the 3% reduction in lead, but that it quickly transitions from molten to solid state at its 361F melting point. You don't need to wait as long as you do for 60/40 to set up. The only time I've seen cold looking solder joints has been if the tip, part, board/terminal was not clean before attempting to solder the joint. I've been using 63/37 for decades in manufacturing and repair bench contexts, stuff that goes in airplanes...

2023-05-03 15:05:47 +0000 UTCStay away from 63 37 solder unless you like stuff that doesn't flow and give cold looking joints. It's not worth "saving the world" by reducing you lead content by a lousy 3% to give dull brittle solder joints. Sorry so rash, but STICK WITH 60 40 unless silver solder is required!
