Final - Solidification & Microstructure of Metals/Alloys Flashcards
crystalline substance with metallic properties composed of two or more chemical elements, at least one of them being metal
alloy
number of elements of 115 that are metal
81
three major classes of dental materials
metals, ceramics, polymers/composites
these have high tensile strength, compressive, and tough materials
metal
ceramics are not very blank
tough
ceramic have low blank strength
tensile
ortho wires are blank
alloys
all metals used as restorative materials in dentistry are blank
crystalline solids
oxidation of an element is what leads to blank in humans which is why nobody has trouble with gold
allergies
high noble requires blank percent of noble
40%
noble alloy requires this much noble element
> 25%
silver is or isnt a noble metal
not
noble metal has a high blank potential with respect to hydrogen electrode
positive
metal with high intrinsic value but not necessarily noble
precious
highest density metal
platinum then gold
energy difference during melting point which is a more flat line
latent heat
cast alloy microstructure in which all of the grains have similar dimensions
equiaxed grain microstructure
cast structure consisting of elongated crystals with a branched morphology rather than equiaxed grains
dendritic microstructure
PFM alloy means blank and is the most mainstream form of restoration currently
porcelain fused to metal
type 1 alloys which are softer are used for blank
inlays
type 5 dental alloys are used for blank and are very stiff
implants, partials
short bridges are type blank dental alloys
3
long span bridges are type blank alloys
4
onlays and single crowns are blank type alloys
type2
crowns can also be this type alloy
3
CTE and CTC are blank for metal
the same
CTE and CTC are blank for porcelain
not the same
predicting bond stregnth and longevity of porcelain to metal restoration can be achieved by this test
thermal shock test
element or alloy whose atomic structure readily loses electrons to form positively charged ions, high thermal and electric conductivity
metal
