[Bond strength between nonprecious metal alloy and porcelain. (Part 2) Effects of the addition of Mn, Mo, Si, Sn, Ta and Ti on bond strength of 80 Ni-20 Cr alloy (author's transl)].

Alloys added 2, 4 and 6 wt% Mn, Mo, Si, Sn, Ta and Ti to 80 wt% Ni-20 wt% Cr alloyand no-added 80 wt% Ni-20 wt% Cr alloy were prepared and casted to obtain the test specimens 3 mm in diameter 25 mm in length. Ceramco porcelain (B.F. Vacuum Porcelain) was fused to each of these specimens, and the bond strength was measured by the pull-out method which applies shear stress to the metal/porcelain interface to investigate the effect of each addition element. The test results may be summarized as presented below. 1) The bond strength between the 80 Ni-20 Cr alloy and the porcelain was 182 +/- 14 kg/cm2. 2) Of the six kinds of addition elements, it was Mo, Sn, Ta and Ti that increased the bond strength. 3) The bond strength between the alloy added 6 wt% Ti to the 80 Ni-20 Cr alloy and the porcelain was 319 +/- 8 kg/cm2, which was increased by about 75% over the strength between the 80 Ni-20 Cr alloy and the porcelain.
