Wept about queen getting alloy (6)

I believe the answer is:
pewter
'alloy' is the definition.
(I know that pewter is a type of tin alloy)
'wept about queen getting' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wept' with letters rearranged gives 'pewt'.
'pewt'+'er'='PEWTER'
(Other definitions for pewter that I've seen before include "Tin alloy for utensils" , "Grey alloy of tin and lead, makes mugs etc." , "Alloy used for utensils" , "Grey alloy of tin and lead, often in mug" , "Tin/copper (utensils)" .)
