Stained glass makers use 60/40 solder, which means 60% tin and 40% lead, has a lower melting point so it doesn’t require as much heat.

Platinum, since its coefficient of expansion is almost the same as that of glass. It can be fused through glass surfaces, establishing a perfect seal, whereas attempting to do so with any other metal would crack the glass when it cools. This property makes it very useful in making electrical contacts for electrodes.

Many different metals are combined with glass to creat different properties.
Potassium is added to glass to make it more shatter resistant.
Lead is add to make leaded crystal.
Chromium used to be added to make blue glass often seen in antique bottles.
