CASTING METALS
"Using the right alloy is
essential in achieving satisfactory casting
results."
DUE
TO WORLD CONDITIONS AND MINES BEING SHUT DOWN IN
CHINA,
THE PRICE OF TIN, PEWTER AND METALS HAVE GONE
UP. CHINA HAS STOPPED EXPORTING TIN DUE TO A
MINING FLOOD WHICH KILLED OVER 300 PEOPLE. PERU
WHO ALSO EXPORTED TINS HAD A DISASTER AND THEY
HAVE STOPPED EXPORTING AS WELL.

Notes About Casting
Metals:
High tin content
metals have excellent flow characteristics with
low melting temperatures.
The addition of
tin to lead lowers its melting point.
The lowest and
most desirable melting point (356ƒ
F.) is achieved with a 66% Tin & 34% lead alloy.
Metal should not
be raised to over 670ƒ
F, to prevent mold damage.
Each of our
listed ingots will cast approximately 5 or 6,
54mm figures.
