This specification covers three modern alloy types, made from tin, antimony, and copper, used in the fabrication of pewter articles by casting, spinning, drawing, or forming. These alloy types include: castings (Type I), sheets (Type 2), and special-purpose alloys (Type 3). The metal may be supplied in the form of bar, ingot, rolled sheet, and circle, all of which shall be available in the specified nominal dimensions (thickness, width, length, and/or diameter) and mass. Pewter alloy shall be defined as having a composition within the prescribed range for tin, antimony, and copper, and shall conform to the specified impurity limits for lead, arsenic, iron, and zinc.

ORDER

Scope

1.1 This specification covers three alloy types, made from tin, antimony, and copper, used in the fabrication of pewter articles by casting, spinning, drawing, or forming. The metal may be supplied in the form of bars, ingots, rolled sheet, and circles.

1.2 Pewter alloy shall be defined as having a composition within the range from 90 to 98 % tin, 1 to 8 % antimony, and 0.25 to 3 % copper. Compositions are given in Table 1.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
