Low Melt Alloys

At Hallmark Metals, we create high-performance, low-melt and casting alloys from only the highest quality virgin metals. All of our materials are sourced from trusted, certified providers and melted in-house under controlled conditions. The high-purity of our alloys creates minimum dross loss and higher yields, and we conduct regular XRF testing to ensure quality. Our metal alloys are perfect for casting, manufacturing, plating, wire coating, jewelry, novelty items and more.
