Is this significantly different to 60/40?

The magic of 63/37 is that its eutectic. IOW, it does
not go through a plastic stage while cooling, but goes
directly from liquid to solid. This reduces the
possibilty of cold joints.

Don't you mean 'dry joints' ?

I've also heard of that usage, but far less often. UK?

If you think that "Cold solder joint" is an error or somehow
something I made up, Google is your friend. ;-)

Always been 'dry joints' here. Cold solder was some crappy conductive glue
IIRC. But I guess usage varies. Hell in some countries they can't even
tell the difference between an ass and an arse !

There was a young girl from Madras,
Had a truely magnificent ass.
Not rounded and pink,
as you possibly think,
But was gray, had long ears, and ate grass.
