METAL:
A substance that is a good conductor of heat andelectricity and when polished becomes a good
reflector of light. ALLOY:
A crystalline structure with metallic propertiesthat is composed of two or more chemicalelements atleast one of which is a metal.
METALLOIDS:Few elements that behave like metals andsometimes non metals.

HARDNESS:
In mineralogy, relative hardness of a substance isbased upon its ability to resist scratching.
In metallurgy and mostly in all other disciplines,hardness is defined as resistance to indentation.
Designated as KNOOP HARDNESS NUMBER.
BRINELL HARDNESS NUMBER.
VICKERS HARDNESS NUMBER.

CRYSTALLINE IN SOLID STATE. METALS ARE HEATED UPTO THE MOLTEN STATE AND
THEN COOLED. SOLIDIFICATION OCCURS AT SPECIFIC SITES CALLED
NUCLEI. NUCLEI ARE FORMED FROM IMPURITIES. CRYSTALS GROW AND FORM DENDRITES. CRYSTAL GROWTH CONTINUES TLL THE MATERIAL HAS
BECOME SOLID AND ALL DENDRITES COME INCONTACT. EACH CRYSTAL IS KNOWN AS GRAIN AND THE AREA
BETWEEN THE TWO GRAINS IN CONTACT IS CALLEDGRAIN BOUNDRY

PROPORTIONING OF GOLD(CARATAGE or FINENESS OF GOLD ALLOYS)Carat and fineness numbers donate the
proportion of gold in an alloy.CARAT GRADING:Carat number of an alloy shows how many 24thof metal by weight is gold.18 carat gold means18 out of 24 parts is gold.FINENESS GRADING:Fineness number for an alloy is 10 times thepercentage of gold within it. E.g. 75% gold alloyis 750 fine.

Two types of heat treatments.
SOFTENING HEAT TREATMENT:
HARDENING HEAT TREATMENT:
26
-

27/50
SOFTENING HEAT TREATMENT
Alloy is placed in an electric furnace for
10 min at a temperature of 700 C. Quenching in water is done next.
Ductility increases.
Tensile strength and hardness aredecreased.
27
-
7/31/2019 Metals & Alloys
28/50
HARDENING HEAT TREATMENT(AGE HARDENING)
Done in 3 ways:
1) Heating alloy at a specific temp for a definitetime before quenching in water. Aging temp isusually 200-450 C. Aging time is 10-15 min.
2) Heating the alloy at 700 C and allowed to cool
slowly and gradually at room temperature.Crystal structure transforms properly by thismethod.
28

3) Alloy is allowed to cool in a furnace
from 450-250 C over 30 min. Then
quenching is done in water.Hardness is increased but alloy
becomes brittle.

According to ISO gold alloys are classified as Type 1: Low strength - For castings subjected
to very low stresses (inlays), minimum yieldstrength of 80 Mpa and minimum percentelongation is 18%
Type 2: Medium strength - For castings
subjected to moderate stresses (inlays,onlays & full crowns), minimum yieldstrength of 190 Mpa & minimum percentelongation is 10%

Type 3: High strength - For castings subjected tohigh stresses (onlays, thin copings, pontics,crowns and saddles), minimum yield strength is270 Mpa and minimum percent elongation is 5%
Type 4: Extra high strength - For castingssubjected to very high stresses (saddles, bars,
clasps, certain single units and cast partialdenture frameworks), minimum yield strength360 Mpa & minimum percent elongation is 3%

METAL CERAMIC ALLOYS A group of noble metal alloys that bind with
the porcelain.
Large variation in chemical composition yetfew common properties.Potential to bind with dental porcelain.Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to
dental porcelain.High melting temperature to allow application
and fusion of low fusing porcelain. Indium, tin and iron present in these alloys
provide oxide film.

and hardness of
alloy. Improves ductility. In excessive amount
it reddens the alloy.

INDIUM, TIN & IRON Harden the metal ceramic
palladium alloys.
Iron is most effectivehardener.
Ions of indium, tin and irondiffuse to the surface of
alloy during firing ofporcelain and adds achemical bond to themetal ceramic bonding.

GALLIUM Compensates for the
decreased coefficient ofthermal expansion that
occurs due to lack of silverin metal ceramic alloy.

INTRODUCTION Pure gold was very popular as a filling
material prior to amalgam. Introduced in U.S.A by ROBERT
WOOFENDALE in 1766 on his arrival fromENGLAND.
However, its use became widespread in U.S.Aonly towards the beginning of 19th century.

Gold is most noble of all metals. Rarely tarnishes in oral cavity.
In pure form, gold is very soft (25 BHN) The properties of ductility, malleability & lack
of oxide layer formation allows it to be usedas a direct filling material.
Currently, direct filling gold is not used aswidely as it was used in the past.
