An alloy of tin with lead is called pewter.
But in general, Pewter is an alloy of tin mixed with a small proportion of another metal, generally lead but sometimes copper, antimony, or bismuth.
An alloy of lead with nearly equal amount of tin is used to join metal parts and is called solder.

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.

Most answers are good, but without proper equipment please do not try to create an alloy at home. You can get hurt or burn the house down or both.
