Die and Investment Materials Flashcards
Which ones undergo shrinkage and which under expansion elastomeric impression material die stone wax pattern gold alloy casting investment
elastomeric impression material; shrinkage die stone; 0.1% expansion wax pattern; ranging gold alloy; 2% shrinkage casting investment; 2% expansion
What is the formula for calcium sulfate dihydrate
CaSO4 • 2H20
What is the formula for calcium sulfate hemihydrate
CaSO4 • 1/2H20
This calcining procedure has container open to air
plaster (β form)
This calcining procedure has closed autoclave under steam pressure
stone (α form)
This calcining procedure has boiling calcium chloride solution
high-strength stone (α form)
This has the highest porosity and surface area (spongy appearance)
plaster
This has a rectangular shape, lower porosity and surface area than plaster particles
stone
This has the most uniform shape, lowest porosity and surface area
high-strength stone
What is the typical water to powder ratio of plater, stone, and high strength die stone
plater; 0.4-0.5
stone; 0.3-0.4
HSDS; 0.2-0.3*
What three things happen during the setting reaction for gypsum products
exothermic reaction
reverse of calcining process
end product is gypsum
What is the theoretical minimum water/powder ratio for a balanced setting reaction
0.186 (0.19)
Excess water is required for wetting particles and desired viscosity for mix; most for this material and least for this
most for plaster
least for high-strength stone
What are common accelerators and retardants
accelerator = potassium sulfate
retarder = borax
NaCl; accelerator at low conc. retarder at high
Expansion is caused by what
gypsum particles pushing each other apart
This high strength die stone have the lowest setting expansion and contain larger amounts of modifiers to provide this property
type IV high-strength die stones
Type V die stones are both what and what, designed for modern casting alloys higher melting point alloys with greater casting shrinkage than traditional high-gold alloys
high-strength
high-expansion
Brittle materials have a much higher compressive strength than what
tensile srength
In which condition is there much higher strength
dry conditions have higher strength compared to wet condition
Strength is related to what
the starting W/P ratio used for mixing product, which determines amount of porosity in set material
