22
Q

other alloy selection factors

A

cost, burnishability, solderability, experience of dental lab

23
Q

Type 0

A

very low stress bearing restorations (small veneered one surrface inlays, veneered crowns.

24
Q

Type 1

A

low stress bearing single tooth restorations. EX veneered or unveneered one surface inlays, veneered crowns

25
Q

Type 2

A

Single tooth fixed restorations. Ex. crowns or inlays without restriction on number of surfaces

26
Q

Type 3

A

Multiple unit fixed restorations - eg bridges

27
Q

Type 4

A

Thin sections subjected to very high forces (clasps, thin veneered crowns)

28
Q

Type 5

A

appliances requiring combination of high stiffness and strength - thin RDPs, clasps

29
Q

Gold provides

A

ductility, tarnish and corrosion resistance

30
Q

Copper

A

principle element of hardening and strengthening (exceeding ~12%)

31
Q

Silver

A

Coutneracts effects of copper on color and substitutes for gold economically

32
Q

Platinum and palladium

A

also tarnish, corrosion resisstance, strenghtening (limited amounts because small percentages substantially raise alloy melting temp)

33
Q

Zinc -

A

oxygen scavenger during melting to minimize oxidizing of other elemnents. Improves castability and fluidity of molten alloy

34
Q

Grain =

A

microscopic single crystal.

35
Q

Top line

A

liquidus

36
Q

bottom line

A

solidus

37
Q

Gold alloys freeze with disordered

A

alpha structure (random location of Au and Cu atoms). Ordered alpha structure forms below 400 deg C with at least 50% gold

38
Q

Gold alloys freeze with disordered

A

alpha structure (random location of Au and Cu atoms). Ordered alpha structure forms below 400 deg C with at least 50% gold

39
Q

Disordered alpha structure at high t is

A

fcc - relevant for traditional high gold alloys - >70% Au

40
Q

Very small amounts of iridium are incorporated to provide

A

desired small grain size or refinement.

41
Q

Increase yield strength and hardness, and you

A

decrease in ductility

42
Q

For gold alloys, increase in total amounts of elements other than

A

gold is expected.

43
Q

Decreases occur in ease of adjustment and

A

burnishability for casting

44
Q

For gold, decrease in melting temp is

A

expected

45
Q

Solid solution hardening

A

provided by copper, platinum, palladium, silver, zinc

46
Q

Order hardening

A

provided by copper (sufficient amount must be present)

47
Q

Grain size refinement

A

iridium usually

48
Q

Slow cooling through appropriate temp range enables

A

ordering to occur

49
Q

Quenching of casting gives

A

softened condition- cooling rate is too rapid for ordering transformation

50
Q

Bench cool or furnace heat-treat casting for

A

hardened condition as result of ordering transformation

51
Q

Ordered phase is

A

AuCu for high gold alloys, AuCu3 for lower gold such as midas
