Pewter Sheet Metal

Our products include Pewter Sheet in a variety of forms, thicknesses, and alloys, including Circles, Rectangles, Strip, Foil, and Mill Sheet. Pewter Ingots are also available in a variety of casting alloys.

Pewter Circular Sheet

Can be spun or formed to make bowls, cups, trays, and tankards

Pewter sheet can be blanked or cut into circles in diameters from 0.719″ to 24″.

We have blanking tools in 82 diameters, from 0.719″ to 12″ capable of blanking material ranging in thickness from 0.016″ (26 GAUGE) to 0.125″ (8 GAUGE) and a circle machine capable of producing custom diameters from 7.5″ to 24″ in 16^th-inch increments, in thicknesses ranging from 0.040″ (18 gauge) to 0.080″ (12 gauge).

If the quantities of a custom size warrant, tooling can be created for a fee. For the diameters and tolerances available in various gauges, see our Tooled Circles Dimensions Chart (PDF) or request a quote.

Pewter Rectangular Sheet

Used to produce picture frames, trays, and models

Rectangles are available in a wide range of thicknesses and dimensions.

Thicknesses can range from 0.016″ up to 0.125″, ± 0.003″ across the piece. Maximum width is 18″ and length is 48″, however, these are dependent on thickness.

Dimensional accuracy is ± 0.031″ with perpendicularity held to ± 0.015″. Grain direction is lengthwise unless requested otherwise.

Pewter Strip and Foil

Used for coins, medallions, labels, and flashing

Strip is essentially a long, narrow rectangle, slit to a given width to ensure parallelism of the long side, important where automatic stamping machinery is employed.

Strip length is dependent on the thickness of the material, which can range from 0.016″ to a maximum of 0.100″ ± 0.003″. Minimum and maximum widths are 1 and 12 inches respectively, held to a tolerance of ± 0.005″.

Foil is essentially a very thin pewter sheet supplied in coil either slit to a specific width or left unfinished. Maximum width is 5″ untrimmed and lengths are dependent on thickness, which can be as low as 0.005″.

Please contact us with details of your specific application.

Pewter Mill Sheet

Used for countertops, ceiling tiles, and stock

Mill Sheet is an untrimmed piece of pewter just as it appears after the final rolling mill pass.

The edges are unfinished and not perfectly parallel, and the ends are neither straight nor perpendicular to the edge. Thicknesses across any dimension may vary ± 0.004″, and the widths and lengths available vary depending on thickness. Quoted dimensions are nominal values; all will vary from sheet to sheet. Pewter in these sizes is not perfectly flat initially but will become flatter with time.

This form is mostly specified when maximum dimensions are required, such as for a countertop, or when the final size of the sheet is undetermined.

See our Mill Sheet Dimensions Chart (PDF) showing the dimensions available at various thicknesses. These dimensions are guidelines and can be adjusted to suit your specific application.

Pewter Ingots

A white metal casting alloy

White metal casting alloys are available for our sheet pewter customers in lead-free formulations and come in 6-pound (lbs) notched bars.

Available Pewter Alloys

92/7/1 - Our standard alloy, and it is ideal for pewter spinning applications. The added antimony and copper create a stiff but workable alloy for a wide variety of applications. While this alloy is not suitable for casting, it can be mixed at a 50/50 ratio with our CM8S alloy to produce a high quality casting metal.
1.5Cu - Higher copper concentration gives this alloy a higher stiffness than our standard alloy. It is ideal for applications that need slightly stiffer properties.
Grade 2 Babbit - A very stiff alloy. Ideal for stamping coins.
CM8 - Casting alloy with low copper, CM8 results from the 50/50 mixing of CM8S and 92/7/1.
CM8S - A no-copper alloy that can be mixed with 92/7/1 to create an alloy that is more suitable for casting.
RO7 - Casting alloy suitable for small, detailed pieces and products that will be finished in a vibratory tumbler.
RO5 - Casting alloy with silver. Ideal for large pieces with flat surfaces and thick cross-sectional areas. The surface finish and heat distribution is better than RO7, but the metal is softer and deforms more easily. Finishing in a vibratory tumbler may result in surface impingement. Hand-finish is recommended. Ideal for large pieces with flat surfaces and products where malleability is desirable.
