This research was performed to establish recasting effects of nickel-chromium dental alloys on the composition of their metal-ceramic interface in making fixed partial dentures. The metal-ceramic interface determines denture functional integrity and prevents damages on ceramics during mastication. Recycling of nickel-chromium alloys is often a practice, without detailed knowledge about possible effects on the composition of the metal-ceramic interface. Investigation of metal-ceramic samples is intended to show if base metal alloys for metal-ceramics are successfully recycled without any composition change in the metal-ceramic interface. The research was performed as an experimental study in which six metal-ceramic samples of nickel-chromium alloy ?Wiron 99? (Bego, Germany) were made. Alloy residues were recycled through twelve casting generations with the addition of 50 wt% of the new alloy on the occasion of every recasting. EDX analysis was performed by using the ?Inca X Sight? apparatus (Oxford Instruments, UK) and a SEM device JSM 6460 LV (JEOL, Japan). This appliance was used in conjunction with the PC software for quantification of chemical elements in order to determine the composition of metal-ceramic interfaces. Results of this research revealed significant differences between compositions of metal-ceramic interfaces in every examined recycle generation. Recasting had a negative effect on alloy components, which concentration is decreasing in the metal-ceramic junction zone. The concentration of cerium in the intermediate phase decreased the most, followed by concentrations of niobium, molybdenum, nickel and chromium. Results showed a permanent reduction of metal components up to the 12th generation of recycling. Cerium concentration (wt%) decreased from 28 to 16.26 %, nickel concentration from 3.31 to 1.82 % and chromium concentration from 2.95 to 2.03 %. Similarly, the molybdenum content decreased from 8.71to 4.68 wt%, while that of niobium from 9.82 to 3.97 wt%. Therefore, recasting of nickel-chromium alloys is not recommended because of changed composition of the metal-ceramic interface of these alloys.

Background/Aim. Elastic modulus of metal-ceramic systems determines their flexural strength and prevents damages on ceramics during mastication. Recycling of basic alloys is often a clinical practice, despite the possible effects on the quality of the future metal-ceramic dentures. This research was done to establish recasting effects of nickel-chromium and cobalt-chromium alloys on the elastic modulus of metalceramic systems in making fixed partial dentures. Methods. The research was performed as an experimental study. Six metal-ceramic samples of nickel-chromium alloy (Wiron 99) and cobalt-chromium alloy (Wirobond C) were made. Alloy residues were recycled through twelve casting generations with the addition of 50% of new alloy on the occasion of every recasting. Three- point bending test was used to determine elastic modulus, recommended by the standard ISO 9693:1999. Fracture load for damaging ceramic layer was recorded on the universal testing machine (Zwick, type 1464), with the speed of 0,05 mm/min. Results. The results of this research revealed significant differences between elasticity modules of metal-ceramic samples in every examined recycle generation. Recasting had negative effect on the elastic modulus of the examined alloys. This research showed the slight linear reduction of elastic modulus up to the 6th generation of recycling. After the 6th recycling there was a sudden fall of elastic modulus. Conclusion. Recasting of nickelchromium and cobalt-chromium alloys is not recommended because of the reduced elastic modulus of these alloys. Instead of reusing previously recasted alloys, the alloy residues should be returned to the manufacturer. .

Introduction/Aim. This research was done to establish recasting effects of nickel-chromium and cobalt-chromium alloys on the thickness of their metal-ceramic interface in making fixed partial dentures. Metal-ceramic interface determines their functional integrity and prevents damages on ceramics during mastication. Investigation of metal-ceramic samples is supposed to show if base metal alloys for metalceramics are successfully recycled without any risk of reduction of metal-ceramic interface thickness. Methods. The research was performed as an experimental study. Per six metal-ceramic samples of nickel-chromium alloy (Wiron99) and cobalt-chromium alloy (Wirobond C) were made each. Alloy residues were recycled through twelve casting generations with the addition of 50% of new alloy on the occasion of every recasting. Analysis Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) (Oxford Instruments) and Scanning Electon Microscop (SEM) analysis (JEOL) were used to determine thickness of metal-ceramic interface together with PC Software for quantification of visual information's (KVI POPOVAC). Results. Results of this research introduced significant differences between thickness of metal-ceramic interface in every examined recycle generation. Recasting had negative effect on thickness of metal-ceramic interface of the examined alloys. This research showed almost linear reduction of elastic modulus up to the 12th generation of recycling. Conclusion. Recasting of nickel-chromium and cobaltchromium alloys is not recommended because of reduced thickness of metal-ceramic interface of these alloys. Instead of recycling, the alloy residues should be returned to the manufacturers.

Background/Aim. Metal-ceramic bond strength and alloys' elastic modulus clearly determine the potential of alloy application, because the ceramic integrity during mastication depends on these two characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate metal-ceramic bond strength and elastic modulus of cobalt-chromium alloys in making porcelainfused- to-metal restorations, regarding the application of the most frequent nickel-chromium alloy. Methods. The research was performed as an experimental study. Six metalceramic samples were made from nickel-chromium alloy (Wiron 99) and cobalt-chromium alloy (Wirobond C), according to the manufactures manuals and instructions from ISO 9693: 1996. Three-point bending test was performed up to the ceramic fracture. The fracture load was measured on an universal testing machine (Zwick, type 1464), with cross-head speed of 0,05mm/min. Results. The results of this study confirmed the significant differences between the metal-ceramic bond strength (p < 0.01) and elastic modulus (p < 0.001) of nickel-chromium and cobalt-chromium alloys, where cobalt-chromium alloys showed higher values for both tested parameters. Conclusion. Cobalt-chromium metal-ceramic alloys can successfully replace nickel-chromium alloys, especially for fabrication of long-span metal-ceramic bridges due to the great flexural strength.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of recasting base metal alloy on the metal–ceramic bond strength. Materials and methods A total of 60 test samples were prepared from new and recast nickel–chromium alloy and divided into six groups. In group A0, test samples were prepared from 100% new alloy. Groups A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 were prepared from 50% new alloy and 50% casting remnants (sprue and buttons) of the previous group by weight. All these samples were coated with ceramic (IPS d.SIGN and Ivoclar-Vivadent), and samples were then subjected to three-point bending test to evaluate metal–ceramic bond strength. Results The values were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. The mean bond strength of group A0 was higher than that of groups A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5. Conclusion Metal–ceramic bond strength decreased significantly with multiple recastings. Clinical significance Bond strength between metal and ceramic is a crucial factor for the clinical performance of metal–ceramic restorations. Recasting of alloys may affect the metal oxide layer composition and thickness of metal–ceramic interface, and thereby the metal–ceramic bond.

ABSTRACTGlancing angle EXAFS and x-ray reflectivity are used to study the interface reaction between nickel-chromium alloys and aluminum. The two metals are found to react independently with Al, with the first reactions taking place at temperatures similar to those found for the pure metals. This means that Ni reacts first with Al to form NiAl3, leaving behind a Cr-rich region at the interface. In this Cr-rich region some of the Cr transforms to the bcc structure from the fcc form of the alloy. At higher temperatures Cr reacts to form CrAl7, and there is no evidence for ternary compound formation. Samples were also prepared with a controlled O contamination at the interface, and it inhibits the reaction much the same as for the pure metal cases. The Ni reaction is not identical to the pure sample case, since the presence of Cr slows down the reaction, and inhibits the initial reaction in the as-prepared bilayers.

The research reported in this article has considered the frictional characteristics of three kinds of AMS nickel-chromium alloys that are commonly used in aerospace industry. These are alloys with additions of titanium and aluminum AMS5542, nickel-chromium alloy AMS5596, and non-magnetic, corrosion and oxidation resistant, nickel-chromium alloy AMS5599. To determine the friction coefficient two tribological tests, a strip drawing test and a pin-on-disc tribometer have been conducted. Three different friction conditions were considered, dry friction, lubrication conditions using two grades of oils used in sheet metal forming of AMS alloys. The experimental results have ascertained several relationships showing the effect of sheet metal surface roughness, lubricant conditions and sheet orientation on the value of friction coefficient in sheet metal forming processes. Different levels of normal pressure were also used in friction tests. The results further showed that the surface topography and sample orientation in the rolling direction of the sheet are significant factors that influence the friction coefficient. It has been observed that the tested AMS alloys, selected from aerospace industry applications, exhibit anisotropic resistance to the friction corresponding to the measured orientation in relation to the rolling direction of the sheet.

Ceramometal bond strength has played an important role for the replacement of gold alloys by nickel-chromium alloys in dentistry. This study evaluated the metal/porcelain bond strength of three ceramic systems (Vita VMK 88, Williams and Duceram) associated with three nickel-chromium alloys (Durabond, Lite Cast B and Resistal P) and one experimental cobalt-chromium-titanium alloy. Thirty cast cylinder specimens (15 mm in height; 6 mm in diameter) were obtained for each alloy, in away that 10 specimens of each alloy were tested with each porcelain. Bond strength was measured with an Emic screw-driven mechanical testing machine by applying parallel shear forces to the specimens until fracture. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis of the alloy/ceramic combinations (p<0.05). Resistal P/Duceram had significantly higher bond strength (44.38±9.12 MPa) (p<0.05) than the other combinations, except for Co-Cr-Ti alloy/Vita VMK 88 (38.41±12.64 MPa). The association of the experimental Co-Cr-Ti alloy with Williams porcelain had significantly higher bond strength (28.20±3.86 MPa) than the combination of other alloys with the same porcelain (p<0.05). Based of these results and within the limitations of an in vitro study, it may be concluded that the bond strength of the three ceramic systems to the Ni-Cr and Co-Cr-Ti alloys varied significantly, indicating that metal/ceramic compatibility was very important to the bond strength.

Spherical submicron particles of materials produced by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) atomization have been used to study a variety of materials processes including nucleation of alternative crystallization phases in iron-nickel and nickel-chromium alloys, amorphous solidification in submicron droplets of pure metals, and quasi-crystal formation in nickel-chromium alloys. Some experiments on pure nickel, nickel oxide single crystals, the nickel/nickel(II) oxide interface, and grain boundaries in nickel monoxide have been performed by STEM. For these latter studies, HREM is the most direct approach to obtain particle crystal structures at the atomic level. Grain boundaries in nickel oxide have also been investigated by HREM. In this paper, we present preliminary results of HREM observations of NiO growth on submicron spheres of pure nickel.Small particles of pure nickel were prepared by EHD atomization. For the study of pure nickel, 0.5 mm diameter pure nickel wire (99.9975%) is sprayed directly in the EHD process. The liquid droplets solidify in free-flight through a vacuum chamber operated at about 10-7 torr.
