1. Pewter Casting

2. Pewter Pewter is a malleable metal alloy.
Traditionally 85-99% is tin. The remaining metals are usually copper, antimony and bismuth.
Pewter has a low melting point of around °C.
We can easily melt and then cast this metal alloy in school.
A mould can be made from MDF and the pewter is heated in a ladle on the brazing hearth.
Health & Safety Issues:
Wear gloves and goggles while heating the pewter.
Stand clear when pouring as it can easily splash.
Keep water away from liquid pewter.
Pour in a well ventilated area.
