Surface Characterization of Some CoCrMo Dental Alloys

Abstract:

The removable partial dentures are made of alloys from CoCrMo system. This survey work paper considers various commercial CoCrMo alloys that were investigated in terms of surface behavior through different processing methods, respectively: sand blasting, grinding, milling, smoothing and polishing, procedures applied in accordance with the necessary standards for prostheses processing in dental labors, regarding their final trimming. Alloys behavior highlighting was performed by macrostructural investigations carried out at stereomicroscope. In the end an alloy hierarchy was achieved according to the method in which the main macrostructural aspects were highlighted.
