Comparing Nickel-Tin and Copper-Tin Solder

I would like to ask what is stronger, Ni/Sn or Cu/Sn in soldering.

Hi, Dheniss. Both tin-nickel solder and tin-copper solder are rather unusual & special purpose . . .

but I'm not confident that you are speaking of the solder composition as opposed to soldering Ni/Sn plating or Cu/Sn plating, so it's difficult to answer. Please spend a couple more sentences explaining your situation, and then I think the readers will be able to help you. Thanks.

Regards,
