Improved Corrosion Resistance and Thinner Alpha-Case Layer on Titanium Casting Using Al₂O₃–5Ti as Investment Material

Dimensional accuracy and surface property of titanium casting using gypsum-bonded alumina investment.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dimensional accuracy and surface property of titanium casting obtained using a gypsum-bonded alumina investment. The experimental gypsum-bonded alumina investment with 20 mass% gypsum content mixed with 2 mass% potassium sulfate was used for five cp titanium castings and three Cu-Zn alloy castings. The accuracy, surface roughness (Ra), and reacti...

Effect of investment type and mold temperature on casting accuracy and titanium-ceramic bond.

This study evaluated the casting accuracy of crown margins and metal-ceramic shear bond strength (SBS) of pure titanium injected into casting molds made using 2 investment types at 3 mold temperatures. Sixty crown (30-degree beveled finish line) and 60 cylinder (5mm diameter × 8mm high) patterns were divided into 6 groups (n=10), and cast using a phosphate-bonded investment (P) and a magnesium ...

Corrosion Resistance of Directionally Solidified Casting Zinc-Aluminum Matrix

Effect of zirconia-modified magnesia investment on the casting of pure titanium.

Several investigations have examined magnesia-based investments for pure titanium casting. However, the thermal expansion value was insufficient at low casting temperatures and high interfacial reactivity occurred at high casting temperatures. The purpose of this investigation was to modify a magnesia-based investment by adding a heat-resistant mold material, zirconia, in different ratios to pr...

DENTAL CASTiNG OF TITANIUM

and porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations instead of gold or silver alloys. This tendency seems to be the same a]1 over the world, However, the expanded use of nickel-containing base metal alloys in dentistry has raised questions concerning their biological s fety, namely, carcinogenic and sensitivity risks.i) On the other hand, since pure titanium or titanium-based alloys have excellent biocom...
