A Study on the Variation of Tensile Strength and Hardness According to the Frequency of Reuse with Chrome-Cobalt Alloy Widely used in the Production of Partial Denture

국부의치 제작에 사용되는 Chrome Cobalt Alloy의 재주조 횟수에 따른 인장강도 및 경도 변화에 대한 실험적 연구

This study is to measure and compare the hardness and tensile strength of each time after we recast seven times continually only with and metal alloy Chromium-Cobalt alloy used in the production of partial denture frame work. The result of the experiment were as follow; 1) The result of the hardness measurement The result of the first casting was $490.48{\pm}38.38$ and that of the second recasting was $455.18{\pm}35.61$ and form the third recasting. the result were $518.38{\pm}37.68$ and over. The change of the hardness difference between each recasting was as follow; The hardness difference between the first casting and the second recasting was $35.25{\pm}31.93$ and that between the second recasting and the third recasting was $63.20{\pm}54.02$. There was a statistically significant difference(P<0.01) in the above hardness, however, there was little difference on the whole. And after the third recasting, the hardness grew high a little bit. That is why low-melting metals such as Cr, Mn, Cu of alloy ingredient was evaporated or there was an effect of changes in metal crystal structure, I suppose. 2) The result of the tensile strength measurement. There was a statistically significant difference(P<0.01) between the first casting and the second, the fourth recasting, however. there was little difference in general.
