Don't know if you can find it, or even if they still make it, but a
company called "Multicore Solders" of Hemmel Hempstead, here in the uk,
used to sell solder called "Savbit" for plain copper irons. According to
the sales blurb it actually contained some copper which slowed the rate
which copper was dissolved from the iron.
