## Description

Lead Free Pewter - Alloy R98 Pewter Casting Ingot (Tin 98%, Bismuth 1.5%, Copper .50%) : desertcart.in: Industrial & Scientific

Review: This is the only pewter that I use to cast my jewelry from my shop (Elven Soul 🧝‍♀️). I usually order from the Roto Metals website, but sometimes it's just easier to add this on my desertcart orders. The R98 pewter is great for detailed castings. I hand sculpt designs from clay, then make high temperature molds, then I melt this ingot on the stove and pour into the molds. The great thing about pewter is, if you mess up, just throw it back in the melting pot! The photos of the two finished pendants have been antiqued a bit to highlight the details (the bails are not pewter just the pendants), the photo with the pieces on the paper plate are the accurate shade of the pewter once you cast with it, prior to antiquing. Definitely recommend, I'll continue to purchase more as needed.
Review: .Very great stuff. Melts relatively easy, especially in an electric pot one can buy on desertcart. Could use a crummy skillet on a gas stove but I like the other way. METAL: - shinier than most where there is not Bismuth and that addition does a bit better on details where I make beads Like that it has zero-ish, lead as my work may get into children's mouths by accident. went a long way and will be ordering more, but for -- regular beads-- I order the larger amounts minus the bismuth for cost. Was going to try to add a few flakes of pure bismuth one can get naturally on desertcart but haven't tried that yet: vendor -- this one --- states it'll work measurements at own calculations.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much of this would add to lead forbullet casting(Brinell hardness of 20)?**
A: you have to add antimony,   this would not get hard enough

**Q: How hard/durable is this alloy? I need to cast fine details in pendant, earring, and ring form.**
A: Yes, it's plenty hard.  You can get some fine detail from your cast but not quite as well as you will from silver. There is more weight in the material so it might be too heavy for earrings.  Good luck. We put a layer of fingernail polish over the surface to protect and shine.

**Q: What is the hardness of this alloy?**
A: 3
Modern pewter contains tin copper and antimony. This source says the Moh's hardness is 3

**Q: is this pewter food safe?**
A: Its a state by state law, You have to look up your state  max allowed parts per million and compare that to the certs

This ingot is so shiny and nice that I hate to melt it down! I have not used it as yet but, let's face it, it is very hard to damage a pewter ingot in shipment! Even the package was undamaged (which, from other suppliers, is often the case on heavy objects such as this). I will likely purchase this item again.
