Pouring Pewter: Quick Cast Metal Want to learn the art of casting metal but only have an hour? Fear not, there is pewter! Pewter is a metal alloy primarily made of tin, bismuth, and a touch of copper. In this demo, we will use lead-free pewter. This blend has a low melting temperature and can be worked with outside of a foundry, making it the perfect metal to learn the art of metal casting. We will begin the demo by looking at and preparing various molds that can hold pewter. Secondly, we will go over the tools and safety of this process. Then, we will melt the pewter, with an electric crucible and pour the liquid metal into our prepared molds. We will finish by looking at the castings, talking about any flaws, and how to clean them up. Lastly, there will be time for addressing questions about the process. |
