BSE METAL CASATING ALLOYS Base metal alloys contain no gold, silver, platinum or palladium. The two most commonly used base metal alloys in dentistry are: 1. The nickel-chromium (Ni/Cr) alloys which are commonly used for crown and bridge casting. The cobalt-chromium (Co/Cr) alloys which are commonly used for partial denture framework castings. 3. Titanium and titanium alloys. Cobalt-Chromium Alloys (stellites) Composition: These alloys generally contain 35-65% cobalt. 20-35% chromiun. 0-30% nickel. Trace quantities of other elements such as molybdenum, silicon, beryllium, boron and carbon. Cobalt and nickel are hard, strong metals. The main purpose of the chromium is to further harden the alloy by solution hardening and also to impart corrosion resistance by the passivating effect The minor elements are generally added to improve casting and handling characteristics and modify mechanical properties. Carbon affects the hardness, strength and ductility of the alloys. The exact concentration of carbon is one of the major factors controlling alloy properties. Nickel-Chromium Alloys Composition: 70-80% nickel. 10-25% chromium. Small quantities of other elements as described for the Co/Cr alloys. Manipulation of base metal casting alloys The fusion temperatures of the Ni/Cr and Co/Cr alloys vary with composition but are generally in the range 1200-1500oC. Investment moulds for base metal alloys must be capable of maintaining their integrity at the high casting temperatures used. The density values of base metal alloys are approximately half those of the casting gold alloys. The greatest expense involved in producing a Co/Cr dental casting is in the time required for trimming and polishing. Base metal alloys, and particularly the Co/Cr type, are very hard and consequently difficult to polish. Properties The Co/Cr and Ni/Cr alloys are very hard materials. Co/Cr and Ni/Cr alloys have very good corrosion resistance by v
