Requirements of casting alloys
I. Biologically
1. Casting alloys should not cause toxicity, allergy or even irritation in service or during the fabrication process (casting and finishing).
Beryllium-containing alloys could cause berylliosis if inhaled during finishing
The metal nickel is known to be allergenic
2. The alloy should resist the degradation in oral fluids
![Page 3: casting alloys dental material](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050713/54bc2b184a79595e588b456f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Requirements of casting alloys
II. Interfacially and chemically
1. Casting alloys should have low surface energy to reduce the plaque attachment
2. If the alloy is going to be covered with porcelain should be able to form surface oxide layer
3. The alloy should be resistant to both tarnish or corrosion (Nobility and passivity)
4. Alloy surface should not be affected by the oral environment (show no pitting)
![Page 4: casting alloys dental material](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050713/54bc2b184a79595e588b456f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Requirements of casting alloys
III. Mechanically
1. High strength (P.L, Y.S. & U.S.) to resist the permanent deformation or even fracture during service
2. Ductility is also required in certain situation where burnishing and marginal closure are needed
3. Alloys with higher hardness are difficult to be finished (Require sandblasting or electro-polishing) and could cause wear to the opposing natural teeth.

Requirements of casting alloysV. Practicability
1. Inexpensive and able to be soldered and repaired
2. Melting range It is preferred to use alloys that fuses below
1000oC
Alloys with higher melting range require;1. Either phosphate or silica-bonded investment2.Special melting equipments (oxy acetylene gas
torch or electric induction machine)
![Page 6: casting alloys dental material](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050713/54bc2b184a79595e588b456f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3. The Density Dense alloys are more easier in casting under
relatively lower casting force Lighter alloys requires more casting force and
are more liable to casting defects (incompleteness and porosity)
4. The reactivity at the molten state Many casting alloys (e.g. Titanium) are highly
reactive at the molten state either to the surrounding atmosphere …….or Investment materials
Requirements of casting alloys
![Page 7: casting alloys dental material](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050713/54bc2b184a79595e588b456f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This fact could leads to 1. alloy oxidation, 2. Complication of the finishing procedure ….or
even3. Enhancement of alloy corrosion
To avoid these adverse effects, Proper selection of the following items is so important;
1. The alloy (Should be low-reactive …..such as gold alloys)
2. The investment (Should contain reducing agent) …………and
3. The melting method (Proper usage of flame and using gas containing no or little amount of carbon)
Requirements of casting alloys

5. The casting shrinkage All Metals expand on heating ( inter-atomic
distances) and shrink on cooling ( inter-atomic distance and density)
Alloys with little solidification and cooling shrinkage are able to produce more accurate casting
Alloys with higher shrinkage rates require special support (Both the die and investment materials should show higher expansion rates)

Pure gold is yellow, soft (ductile & malleable) metal that welded (cohere) together and easily deformed under pressure.
Pure gold is used as direct filling material to restore small tooth cavities
Alloying the metal gold with Copper, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Zinc and sometimes minute amount of Indium improves its mechanical properties to fit the requirements of different applications

A. According to the gold contentsKarat system The gold alloys are divided into 24 parts Karat is the number of parts represent the pure
gold in the alloy e.g. 18 K gold alloy = 18 parts of gold, 6 parts of
other metals
Fine system The gold alloys are divided into 1000 parts Fineness is the number of parts represent the
pure gold in the alloy e.g. 750 F gold alloy = 750 parts of gold, 250
parts of other metals

The mechanical properties of gold alloys could be altered through the solid state reactions (Heat treatment)
The ability of heat treatment presents only in types III & IV due to the higher % of copper and silver
2 types of heat treatment could be carried out;1. Softening heat ttt2. Hardening heat ttt
