That would depend on the application just like tin and lead solder or tin and antimony.
There are so called silver solders which is a wrong term as solder normally pertains to a lead content .
It should be technically called a silver bearing alloy as per AWS specifications
Depending on the tensile strength that one would want such as brazing alloys where we have joints 87,000 or low temperature silver bearing which has an average tensile strength of 16,000

What solder do you use on copper tubing for plumbing?
Copper tubing solder "Solder" is an erroneous term as solder mean lead which of course is banned (safe water drinking act) Sweating is another term for "soldering" Copper can be joined by various alloys such as 95 % tin -5% Anatomy or one of the many silver bearing types of low temperature alloys. For the strongest possible joints brazing is the best way to go with a tensile strength over 87,000 PSI compared to soft solder joints of 16,000 PSI For DWV copper joints one can use one of the lead tin solders such as 50 -50 as it is quite easy to work woth.
What is solder used for?
Soldering is a way of joining one component to another component. Components on a printed circuit board are held in place with solder. Solder being a conductive compound lends itself very nicely in the electrical and electronic industries.
What are the contents of copper pipe solder?

What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.
What is the silver content of silver solder?
Solder is manufactured in hundreds of different grades and compositions for thousands of different applications. Solder that might be described as "Silver solder" is most commonly commercially manufactured in about 50 different compositions with silver contents of up to 40% and is priced accordingly. Silver solder is often used in jewellery making and repair, engineering and many electrical manufacturing processes.
