Purpose: This study aimed to provide the basic data for dental barrel finishing by observing the abrasiveness of the metal body according to the time of the barrel finishing. Methods: This study included three types of Co-Cr alloys. The specimens were manufactured by casting method using 10-mm diameter wax spheres (n=10). The cast alloys were polished for 60 minutes at intervals of 5 minutes in barrel finishing. The weight and volume of the specimens were measured, and the rate of change was calculated. The data obtained from the three groups (α=0.05) were compared and analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: As a result, the overall volume and weight of the group decreased after grinding compared with the control group. Conclusion: When grinding dental barrel finishing, no difference was observed in the processing rate depending on the type of alloy and the processing rate of the alloy body is within 30 minutes; hence, dental barrel finishing can be effectively used for grinding.

Purpose: The aim of this study measured and compared the marginal and internal fit of metal cores with two base metal alloy (Ni-Cr alloy(non-beryllium), Co-Cr alloy). Methods: Maxillary right first molar abutment fabricated by titanium was prepared for this study. Impressions(10ea) were made from titanium model, and study models were poured with improved dental stone. Wax cores of twenty were prepared for burn-out and casting. Ten wax cores cast Ni-Cr alloy(non-Be), and finally ten cast Co-Cr alloy. Marginal and internal fit of cores was evaluated using silicone replica technique and digital microscope(x160). The data were statistically analyzed with the independent samples t-test (${\alpha}$ <.05). Results: Mean(standard deviation, SD) marginal and internal fit total size of Ni-Cr alloy(non-Be) group was $73.3(14.4){\mu}m$ and of Co-Cr alloy group $65.6(17.4){\mu}m$. The marginal and internal fit total size of Ni-Cr alloy group(non-Be) was statistically significantly greater than that of Co-Cr alloy group (P=.004). Conclusion: Co-Cr alloy cores in this study had a better marginal fit than Ni-Cr alloy(non-Be) cores.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of each metal in non-precious metal alloys dental casting, still used even banned for use and trade by the law, for oral health. Methods: Two kinds of metal alloys were analyzed. One was Ticonium 100 for removable prosthesis and the other was Rexillium V for dental porcelain. Two samples of each metal alloy were made in 0.5g, 1.0g, and 1.5g. Total number of samples were 12. Two kinds of lactic acid Solution, pH7 and pH4.6, were injected into each samples. After injection, each samples had been for 21days ${\pm}$ 1 hour in the water tank of which temperature was $37^{\circ}C$. The level of metal was measured in each sample by inductively couplled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. Results: In both metal alloys, metals, chrome, nickel, beryllium, and molybdenum, were founded. In Ticonium 1000, the highest level of nickel was 2.531ppm in 1.5g pH4.6 sample while the highest level of nickel was 4.062ppm in 1.5g pH4.6 sample of Rexillium V. In chemical composition of these methal alloys, chrome(14~17%) was much more than beryllium(1.95~1.99%) and molybdenum(5.0~9.0%) but berllium and molybdenum were founded more than chrome in samples. Therefore, chrome showed better anti-corrosion than other metal alloys. In both metal alloys, more metals were founded in higher pH level and more mass. Levels of chrome was significantly different in samples of both metal alloys in each pH level(p<0.05). Levels of nickels was significantly different in samples of both metal alloys in each pH level(p<0.05). Conclusion: For oral health, further studies are needed in nickel-chrome metal alloy and cobalt metal alloy of non-beryllium in addittion to beryllium metal alloy and also long-term studies needed in various period and other non-percious metal alloys for dental casting.

The physical property and phase transformation in a commercial dental casting high gold alloy was investigated as a function of ageing temperature and time using microvickers hardness tester, X-ray diffraction, optical and electron microscopy and EPMA analyser. 1. With increasing ageing time, the hardness of solution-treated gold alloys increased slowly at the initial stage of ageing treatment at an ageing temperature of $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, and it reached a maximum value of hardness at the medium stage. Finally, it decreased gradually during further ageing. The maximum value of hardness at was similar with that of the conventional materials and suitable for using as the crown & bridge. 2. During isothermal ageing at a temperature range of $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, three phases consisting of the Au-rich ${\alpha}_1$phase with a face-centered cubic structure, the Pt3Zn ${\alpha}_2$phase with an ordered AuCu3(L12) type(f.c.c.) and the Pt-rich ${\alpha}_3$phase with face-centered cubic structure in solution-treated gold alloys were transformed into different three phases consisting of the ${\alpha}_1$phase, the ${\alpha}_3$phase and the PtZn $\beta$phase with an ordered AuCu I(L10) type. 3. The hardening of gold alloys was attributed to the lattice strains of the matrix resulting from the transformation of the ${\alpha}_2$phase to the $\beta$phase. 4. The softening of gold alloys during over-ageing was attributed to the coarsening of the nodules consisting of the $\beta$phase and ${\alpha}_1$matrix.

It's very important to find the most appropriate adhesion technique available, taking into consideration factors such as biocompatibility, non-corrosiveness, mechanical stability, etc. Laser welding is the best choice you can make because from a mechanical viewpoint, a laser welded surface has better particle structure than does a casted particle structure. Furthermore, it requires no additional material and the same metal alloy which is used when casting can be used. Therefore, the resulting mixture will consist of a single alloy, instead of utilizing different alloy combinations. Another benefit is the low economic cost. The most beneficial aspects of laser welding is that it is biologicallly friendlly, doesn't require soldering, can fuse different metal alloys together, and can weld on heat-sensitive spots(E.g. around resin or ceramic). A consistent strong pulse is possible. This technique is capable of welding on master models and creates accurate welds. It is capable of due to its stronger, non-corrosive microscope, which allows 25times magnification during the soldering process. This is possible because of its high stability from the tiny particle structure.

This Experimental study was performed to study the effect of the heat soaking and the diameter of pattern on the casting ability of three nonprecious alloys manufactured for porcelain-metal restorations, with respect to their ability to reproduce test pieces by casting over a selected range of uniform diameters. Samples of total 60 were constructed and divided into 6 groups according to the two variables, the diameter and the heat soaking. The completed cast samples were examined visually and measured with a caliper calibrated to 0.05mm. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Length cast was significantly related to the diameter to be cast, especially in the case of the marrowest diameter of 230m. 2. Length cast not significantly related to the heat soaking. 3. The completeness of casting was significantly related to the diameter to be cast, particularly in the case of the narrowest diameter of 230m. 4. The completeness of casting was not significantly related to the heat soaking. 5. All of the three nonprecious alloys used for this experiment were significantly different from an ideal alloy in the completeness of casting.

This study presents the wear characteristics of Ti alloys (Pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn) fabricated by centrifugal precision casting in an Ohara dental titanium casting machine. It was found that the hardness of the surface region is higher than that of the interior region. It is considered that the oxygen adsorption in the surface region during casting, leads to the interstitial solid solution hardening. Wear resistance incerases in the order of pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloys. The interior hardness value increases in the same order. The specific wear rate increases with applied load and increases monotonously with sliding speed. The Fe transfer from the counterpart material was observed on the worn surface of the Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy. Oxidative wear occurs at low sliding speeds and mechanical fracture wear occurs at high sliding speeds.

This study evaluated the mechanical properties of Ti-Cu alloys with the hope of developing an alloy for dental casting with better mechanical properties than unalloyed titanium. Ti-Cu alloys with four concentrations of Cu(2,5,10wt%) were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. The microstructure and micro-Vickers hardness were determined. X-ray diffraction pattern test was performed on the polished specimens. The microstructure of 2%Cu and 5%Cu alloys are shown acicular ${\alpha}Ti$ phase formed on the surfaces of previously formed $\beta$grains. The 10%Cu alloys has essentially a eutectoid structure; this structure includes lamella of ${\alpha}Ti$ and $Ti_2Cu$ phase that transformed from ${\alpha}Ti$ at the eutectoid temperature. The micro-Vickers hardness of CP Ti specimens was significantly(p<0.05) lower than that of any of the other alloys. Among the Ti-Cu alloys, the 10%Cu alloys exhibited a significantly(p<0.05) higher hardness value. but lower than that of Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy. From these results, it was concluded that new alloys for dental castings should be designed as Ti-Cu based alloys if other properties necessary for dental castings were obtained.
