In the phase diagram there are ACB and ADB lines.
Above the ACB line is all ___.
Below the ADB line is all ___.
Between the lines is a mix of both - this area has a ____.
liquid
solid
melting range
Au and Cu are soluble in each other at any combination. When mixed together they form a ____.
solid solution
At certain concentrations of metals mixed together you may get an ____ solution. These solutions impart higher ____ and ____ to alloys.
ordered
hardness and strength
___ is used as a binder in materials commonly employed in the casting of dental gold alloys and is generally not heated above 700 C.
Gypsum
A binder is used to form a coherent ___ mass and to provide ___ for the investment.
solid
strength
___ is a binder used for gold.
___ are binders used for high temp alloys.
Calcium sulfate hemihydrate
Phosphate, Ethyl Silicate
A semicircular groove placed across one side of a block is considered a ___.
stress raiser
Stress is constant over most of the plane but would rise suddenly near the groove reaching a max at the edge of the groove.
Why can polymers absorb water?
Because of weak secondary bonds in polymers, water molecules are able to penetrate between polymer chains
___ alloys occur when 2 metals are soluble as liquids but nearly insoluble as solids.
Eutectic
The pure eutectic has a ____ that is lower than either of the pure components.
melting point (not a range)
What are the causes (environmental factors) of poor dimensional stability?
Syneresis
Imbibition
Evaporation
___ is fluid loss during setting squeezing water from between polysaccharide or alginate chains >> Shrinkage >> Distortion of cast
Syneresis
___ alginate powder is the most accurate way to dispense it.
Weighing
Where will a porcelain-metal bond most likely fail?
In the porcelain body
Why must the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) be compatible between porcelain and metal?
The materials will have a different contraction rate while cooling. The cooling metal should contract causing the brittle porcelain to become more densely packed and thus more sturdy.
What materials have the highest degree of thermal expansion?
Waxes
What is the composition of a High Noble metal?
- 60% Noble metal
- 40% Gold (Au)
What is the composition of a Noble metal?
- 25% Noble metal
- no specific gold stipulation
What is the composition of predominantly base metal?
- Noble metal less than 25%
What is the highest point of the stress/strain graph?
Ultimate Strength
In most dental alloys and ceramics, the U.S. and the Fs (fracture strength) will be very close
Which is higher on the stress/strain graph (and subsequently numerically), yield strength or proportional limit.
Yield strength is higher because materials begin to function in a plastic manner. (limited permanent strain HAS occurred)
Minute scratches on the surface of materials behave like sharp notches which are ________
Stress raisers
When stress suddenly rises near a “groove”, reaching a max at the edge of the groove is called _______?
This is a phenomenon that occurs around any irregularity in a material.
Stress raiser
What is higher a stress raiser or the average stress in the body?
The stress raiser. It can be several times higher. The amount of increased stress depend on the shape of the stress raiser.
Why do materials fail at stresses far below their expected strength?
Stress raisers allow stresses to reach the theoretical strength of the material at a relatively low stress. When the theoretical strength is exceeded at the tip of the notch the bonds break at the tip. The adjacent bonds are not the tip of the notch (and become the point of greatest stress concentration). Therefore, the crack will propagate through the material until the crack/fracture will move completely thorughtout the material.
What desired effect does Sodium Phosphate have when preparing an Alginate mixture?
Retarder. It’s a real thing.
