Lead alloys, such as old pewter, which is an alloy of tin and lead, oxidize to the same compounds as the two parent metals.

Pewter. The alloy was used for centuries for making domestic utensils and drinking tankards. The higher the tin content the better quality the pewter.

That would be tin-lead solder, an alloy that is very important in electronics but does not have a unique name as such. Solder is used to make wire connections between electronic components, or to attach components to substrates. It does not require the energy input or temperature that welding does, but it also does not form as strong a bond.
