Pewter Lapel Pins
Description:
Pewter is a malleable metal alloy composed of at least 90% tin and 10% copper. This unique blend produces a matte finish, high contrast lapel pin with a handsome blue silver tint. Though presently used almost exclusively for decorative, collectible and promotional objects, Pewter was once the most commonly used material for tableware. Pewter’s low melting temperature makes it an ideal material for producing die-cast replicas of your lapel pin design. Whether it be a logo, animal or human figurine, pewter offers unrivaled versatility that allows us to fashion a lapel pin unique to your needs.
Process:
The pewter alloy is melted at a low temperature (170–230 °C). Meanwhile a mold is made of your custom design, leaving channels through which the liquid metal will travel in order to enter the mold. The alloy is then injected into the mold, either by a spin-casting process or by high-pressure injection. Finally, the scrap (which includes the channels) is separated from the castings and re-melted for later use. The pewter lapel pins are then stone polished, poly-bagged and shipped to your doorstep.
