Materials Study Sheet Flashcards
Proportional limit
Greatest stress a material can withstand before deviating from the proportionality of stress to strain
Elastic limit
Greatest stress a material can withstand without permanent deformation
Elastic region
- What happens to atom bonds?
Linear portion of the stress/strain diagram, stress is proportional to strain
Bonds between atoms stretch, recoverable
Plastic region
- What happens to atom bonds?
Non-linear portion of the stress/strain diagram
Bonds between atoms break, non-recoverable
Yield strength
Stress at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from proportionality of stress to stain
Modulus of elasticity
- Discovered by?
- Do metals or ceramics have a larger E? Which can handle tensile forces better?
Slope of the stress/strain curve at the elastic portion
Hooke
Ceramics have larger E as they are bonded covalently/ionically, which is stronger than metallic bond. Metals can tolerate large tensile strain, but not as much compression
Resilience
Amount of energy required to deform a material to its proportional limit (elastic to plastic)
Toughness
Amount of energy required to fracture a material
- Area under elastic and plastic region
- Combination of strength and ductility
Tensile test
- What properties can be obtained?
Measure change in gage length as you apply tensile force.
This is how you generate a stress/strain curve
- Elastic region, plastic region, elastic modulus, yield strength, proportional limit, ductility, ultimate yield strength
Offset yield strength
Amount of stress that results in a plastic strain of 0.2%
Ductility
Amount of deformation before rupture
- Not found on stress/strain curve
Resilience
Area until elastic region (only really good for orthodontic wire)
Impact testing and hardness testing
Impact - pendulum into the specimen
Hardness testing - resistance to penetration. Measurement of indentation width or depth
Creep
Slow elongation and eventual failure at elevated temperatures
- Materials with lower melting temp creep at lower temperatures (dental amalgam and many polymers)
Vita shades of A, B, C, and D?
A: Red-brown
B: Red-yellow
C: Gray
D: Red-gray
What is the ratio of rods to cones?
What does squinting do?
Visible light is from what wavelengths?
19:1
Squinting emphasizes rods to pick up value
380-760 nm
How do you lower value?
How do you raise chroma?
How do you lower chroma?
Lower value with complimentary color
Raise chroma with dominant hue
Lower chroma with complimentary color
Baseplate wax follows what ADA specification
Type I, II, III?
ADA spec no. 24
Type 1: Soft setup
Type 2: Medium, normal climate
Type 3: Hard, tropical climate
Baseplate wax ingredients (5) and short descriptions
Paraffin (40-60%) - Petroleum product, controls melting temp, dull, flakes easily
Dammar gum - (pine trees) - ↑toughness, ↑flake resistance, ↑luster, ↑smoothness
Carnauba - Hard, high melting temp, contributes gloss, decrease flow, from palm leaves
Candelilla - substitute for carnauba, not as hard
Ceresin - Can replace paraffin to modify toughness
Modeling plastic
- High or low thermal conductivity
- ADA spec #?
- Flows at what temp?
- Green softens at?
- Gray softens at?
- Red softens at?
- Low thermal conductivity
- ADA spec #3
- Flows at 98.6
- Green: 123
- Gray: 130
- Red: 132
Modeling plastic ingredients (6)
- Rosin (pine resin) - flow/cohesion
- Copal resin (tropical tree resin) - flow/cohesion
- Carnauba (hard, high melting temp, contributes gloss)
- Talc (filler)
- Color (rogue)
- Stearic acid (lubricant, plasticizer)
Ultimate tensile strength
Maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched (apex of the curve)
- Important for brittle items, not ductile - like ceramics.
Plaster/dental stone
- ADA spec no?
- Formula for making gypsum?
- How is plaster of Paris made?
- How is Type III dental stone made?
- How is Type IV dental stone made?
- No. 25
- Calcium sulfate dihydrate + heat -> calcium sulfate hemihydrate
- Plaster - β - open kettle
- Type 3 - α - autoclave under steam
- Type 4 - modified α - autoclave with CaCl2
Ingredients (besides hemihydrate) to stone
