SOLDERING AND BRAZING Flashcards
2 process in joining metals/alloys
soldering amd brazing
Joining of metals below 425 degrees Celsius
Soldering
Joining of metals above 425 degrees celsius
Brazing
2 Dental Solders
Gold based alloy solders and Silver based alloy solders
Used to solder CAST alloys
Gold based alloy solders
Used more in orthodiontic applications and have more strength than gold
Silver based alloy solders
Cleans the alloy to be soldered and dissolves surface oxide
Flux
Used Borax-containing flux and has good tarning and corrosion resistance
Gold based alloy solders
Used for crown and bridge application
Gold based alloy solders
Uses potassium-fluoride containing flux
Stainless steel and base metal solders
Give atleast 2 compositions of gold base alloy solders
Gold and Silver
What are the 4 different properties of soldering?
- Its liquidus should be below the solidus of the alloy to be soldered
- flow and wetting
- corrosion
- Melting range
It is the process of heating closely packed particles below their melting temperature to promote atomic diffusion:
sintering
The following are the materials used for gold based alloy solders except:
a. Gold
b. Silver
c. Copper
d. Zinc
d. Zincavolity
