Data from 14 independent controlled clinical trials on the oral behavior of Classes 1 and 2 amalgam restorations, with a follow-up between five and 15 years, were re-evaluated by secondary analysis for the influence of alloy composition on the survival of amalgam restorations. For the analysis, 3119 restorations were available, which were made from 24 different alloys by a group of seven operat...

in this study, porcelain bond strength to three different alloys of gold-base, pd-ag and base-metal were compared and the effect of repeated porcelain sintering on bond strength was evaluated. the obtained results showed best bond strength of porcelain with gold-base alloy. pd-ag and base-metal alloys showed less strength respectively. during repeated sintering of porcelain, bond strength has n...

Exposure to beryllium compounds, both by inhalation and skin contact, may result in immune sensitization and chronic beryllium disease. The objective of the present research work was to study the feasibility of removing beryllium compounds from the surfaces of devices made of Be-Cu alloy and to estimate the frequency at which the surfaces had to be rubbed in order to evaluate the likelihood tha...

The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of binary Ti-xPt alloys containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% Pt were investigated in order to develop new Ti-based dental materials possessing superior properties than those of commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti). All of the Ti-xPt (x = 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys showed hexagonal α-Ti structure with cubic Ti₃Pt intermetallic phase. The mech...

The paper will briefly review and discuss results of our investigations on the atomic correlations in amorphous Zn-Sb, GaSb, GaSb-Ge and Al-Ge alloys. These semiconductor alloys were prepared by solid state reactions in the course of heating the quenched highpressure phases. Structure of the final products was studied by neutron diffraction for the Al-Ge, GaSb and GaSb-Ge alloys and by transmis...

The development of lead-free solder alloys for high-temperature applications is required to meet increasing demands for reliable replacements for lead-containing alloys. This paper provides a review of recent research...

The article contains computational data of many-body interactions in Al-Cu alloys, obtained using PAW-VASP calculations. Pairwise, three-site, and four-site interactions are presented. Mentioned data are relevant to the research article "Many-body mechanism of Guinier-Preston zones stabilization in Al-Cu alloys" (Gorbatov et al., 2017) [1].

Low-cycle, lap-shear fatigue behavior of Sn-based, Pb-free solder alloys, Sn3.5Ag, Sn-3.5Ag-Cu, Sn-3.5Ag-Bi, and Sn-0.7Cu, were studied at room temperature using specimens with printed circuit board (PCB)/solder/PCB structure under total displacement of ±10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, and 20 μm. The fatigue lives of various solder joint materials, defined as 50% load drop, were correlated with the fractu...

The cytotoxicity of a series of dental casting alloys in the as-cast and polished condition was determined with cell culture techniques involving phase contrast microscopy to examine cell morphology and the succinic dehydrogenase histochemical reaction to measure any ring of inhibition of Balb/c 3T3 cellular respiration around alloys. Crown and bridge casting alloys and a nickel- and a cobalt-b...
