dental metallurgy Flashcards
1
Q
what happens with work hardening
A
increase hardness, ultimate tensile strength and brittleness
decrease in ductility and resistnace to corrosion
2
Q
what are the type of wrought metal alloy
A
stainless steel, nickel titanium
3
Q
what are the properties of nickel titanium
A
- excellent corrosion resistance
- non magnetic
- high fatigue strength
- moderate impact resistance, moderate heat resistance
4
Q
what does twinning plate allow
A
permanent deformation without breaking of atomic bonds, responsible for shaped memory and superelasticity
5
Q
What is shape memory
A
deformed when cold and returns to predeformed shape when heated
