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
