Q

How much gold is in todays casting

A

lower gold

22
Q

What specification of dental castinga lloys has been withdrawn

A

Historic ANSI/ADA specification No.5

23
Q

What is the current standard for dental casting alloys

A

ISO 22674 (types 0-5)

24
Q

The ability of a metal to stretch and seal a margin

A

Burnishability

25
Q

what are additional alloy selection factors

A

Cost of the metal per pennyweight
Burnishability
Solderability
Experience of the dental lab

26
Q

when to use type 0 alloys

A

Very low stress-bearing (small veneered 1 surface inlays)
Veneered crowns
metallic materials for metal-ceramic crowns produced by electroforming or sintering

27
Q

when to use type 1 alloys

A

Low stress bearing single tooth restorations ( veneered or unveneered one surface inlays, Veneered crowns

28
Q

When to use type 2 alloys

A

single tooth fixed restorations (Crowns or inlays without restriction on number of surfaces)

29
Q

When to use type 3 alloys

A

Multiple-unit fixed restorations (bridges)

30
Q

When to use type 4 alloys

A

Thin sections subject to very high forces
(RPD, clasps, thin veneered crowns, bridges with wide spans or small cross-sections, attachments, implant retained superstructures)

31
Q

When to use type 5 alloys

A

Appliances requiring combination of high stiffness and strength
(thin RPDs, parts with thin cross-sections, clasps)

32
Q

What is the trend as you go from type 0 to type 5 gold casting alloys

A

More other elements
Easier to melt
HArder to burnish and adjust

33
Q

Roll of gold in gold casting alloys

A

Provide ductility

tarnish and corrosion resistance

34
Q

Roll of Copper in gold casting alloys

A

Principle element for hardening and strength)

35
Q

How much copper has to be added for a reduction in tarnish and corrosion resistance

A

exceeding 12%

36
Q

Roll of silver in gold cast alloys

A

Counteracts effect of copper on color and substitutes economically for gold without degrading mech properties

37
Q

Roll of Platinum and palladium in gold casting alloys

A

Provides tarnish and corrosion resistance

Strength

38
Q

How much platinum and palladium can be added

A

Not much because itll raise the melting temp

39
Q

Roll of zinc in Gold casting alloys

A

OXygen scavenger during melting to minimize oxidation of other elements
improve castability and fluidity of molten alloy

40
Q

Different strucutres of AuCu3

A

disorded (fcc strucutre)

Ordered alpha prime(simple cubic strucutre)

41
Q

when does the orded alpha prime strucutre of AuCu3 form

A

below about 400 degrees celcius

42
Q

When does the Disordered structure form

A

At high temperatures (usually has a lot of gold)

43
Q

Roll of small amounts of Indium and gallium in gold casting alloys

A

Provide hardening and strengthening

44
Q

why add small amounts of iridium to gold casting alloys

A

grain refinement

45
Q

What does grain refinement do

A

Improves mechanicalproperties, composition uniformity in microstrucutre
and corrosion resistance

46
Q

Solid solution hardening is provided by what elements

A

Copper, platinum, palladium, silver and zinc

47
Q

Order hardneing is provided by

A

48
Q

what allows ordering to occure

A

Slow cooling through appropriate temperature range

49
Q

what leads to a softened contion of gold casting alloys

A

Quenching leads to unordered transformtion (too fast)

50
Q

what leads to a hardened condition

A

Bench-cooling
Furnace heat treat
-ordered transformation
