Alloy for joining metals (6)

I believe the answer is:

solder

(Other definitions for solder that I've seen before include "Join or fuse metal, using an alloy" , "Fusible alloy for joining metals" , "Soft alloy used to cement metals" , "Fusible jointing alloy" , "Alloy melted to join circuit components" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
