Aluminum is lighter in weight, has a higher shine, and does not tarnish like pewter. Pewter is darker in color, has a slightly duller appearance, and may develop a patina over time. A magnet can also help differentiate them, as aluminum is not magnetic while pewter may show some magnetic attraction due to its composition.
What else can I help you with?
How do you tell difference between pewter and aluminum?
Pewter is dull grey and heavy for it's size when compared to aluminum. Touch the surface of the object. If it feels slightly rough to the touch and has tiny pits and scratches it has accumulated with age it is probably pewter.
How do you tell the difference between alloy and aluminum?
One could measure the melting point, electrical conductivity, specific heat capacity, or other physical property. These properties would be different between pure metal and alloy, and data could be compared with that in the literature. Also, many other chemical possibilities exist exploiting the reactivity difference of individual elements. (eg boiling in NaOH would dissolve Al but not Fe). If one had access to a spectrometer, one could easily and accurately determine composition.

How can you tell the if something is lead or pewter?
Lead is a heavy, soft metal with a bluish-gray color, while pewter is a lighter, softer metal with a silvery appearance. Lead also leaves a gray mark when scratched against a ceramic surface, whereas pewter does not. Additionally, lead is toxic, whereas pewter is a safer alternative for food and drink containers.
How do you tell the difference between copper and aluminium wires?

How do you tel the difference between a 4.3 LT1 and a 5.7 LT1?
You can tell by the heads. 5.7 has aluminum (silver) 4.3 has steel heads (darker grey or painted black.)
Is there a test to determine something is stainless steel and not aluminum?
Use a magnet. Magnets stick to steel but don't stick to aluminum. Stainless is very weakly magnetic at best. Best to identify aluminum from stainless by weight (aluminum is much lighter) or by hardness (aluminum is much softer; scratches more easily). ***************** Though magnet test can show the difference between magnetic steel and aluminum, it cannot show the difference between non-magnetic steel and aluminum. In this case you can tell the difference by 1. weight , since aluminum has density 2700 kg/m3 and steel (magnetic or not) 7500 2. hardness, using a knife or something similar, since aluminum is softer than steel
How do you tell between aluminum and steel frame stoeger luger 22 caliber?
Someone has already mentioned using a magnet to determine whether it's steel or aluminum, but another way is the weight. I own one of the steel variety (shot it just this afternoon!), and it is a chunk!! You can definitely tell the difference.
