연구 목적: 본 연구는 치과영역에서 많이 사용되는 비귀금속 합금인 니켈-크롬 합금을 산소-아세틸렌 불꽃 납착법과 적외선 용접법을 이용해 용접하고 용접부 및 그 주변을 광학 현미경과 EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analyzer, 전자미세현미분석기)를 통해 관찰하여 용접방법이 금속의 성상(性狀)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 니켈-크롬 합금을 이용하여 3.0 mm 직경, 30 mm 길이의 시편을 제작하였다. 시편은 산소-아세틸렌 불꽃 납착법, 적외선 용접법의 두 개의 그룹으로 분류하였다(n=4). 시편을 low-speed disc로 자른 후 각각을 산소-아세틸렌 토치와 적외선 용접기를 이용해 용접하였다. 용접과 마무리 후에 시편을 광학현미경으로 용접부, 5 mm 떨어진 지점, 10 mm 떨어진 지점의 3개 부위에서 관찰하고EPMA를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 광학 현미경 관찰 결과 용접부에서는 두 방법 모두 다수의 파절선이 관찰되었고, 10.0 mm 떨어진 거리에서는 두 방법 모두 시편의 표면에서 파절선이 발견되지 않았으나 5.0 mm 떨어진 거리에서는 적외선 용접법에서는 시편의 표면이 다소 거칠기는 했으나 파절선은 발견되지 않았고 산소-아세틸렌 불꽃 납착 표면에서는 다수의 파절선이 관찰되었다. EPMA분석에서 적외선 용접법에 의한 방법에서는 용접부위, 5.0 mm 떨어진 부위, 10.0 mm 떨어진 부위 모두에서 시편 금속의 구성성분 비율이 제조사의 구성성분 비율과 10.0%이내의 오차를 나타내었고, 산소-아세틸렌 불꽃 납착법에서는 5.0, 10.0 mm에서는 시편금속의 구성성분이 10.0%이내의 오차를 나타내었으나, 납착 부위에서는 Ni만이 검출되어 적외선 용접법과는 차이를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 분석결과를 살펴 볼 때 적외선 용접을 시행한 시편의 구성 성분이 모금속의 성분과 유사한 것 을알수있었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 산소-아세틸렌 불꽃 납착법보다 적외선 용접법을 이용할 때, 금속의 결함 및 성분의 변화가 적어서 좀 더 우수한 금속 보철물의 제작이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to analyze the in vitro and in vivo corrosion products of low and high copper amalgams. The four different types of amalgam alloy used in this study were Fine cut, Caulk spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin. After each amalgam alloy and Hg were triturated according to the directions of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator(Amalgam mixer. Shinhung Co. Korea), the triturated mass was inserted into a cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10mm in height. The mass was condensed by 150Kg/cm compressive force. The specimen was removed from the mold and aged at room temperature for about seven days. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out by emery paper polishing under running water. In vitro amalgam specimens were potentiostatically polarized ten times in a normal saline solution at $37^{\circ}C$(potentiostat : HA-301. Hukuto Denko Corp. Japan). Each specimen was subjected to anodic polarization scan within the potential range -1700mV to+400mV(SCE). After corrosion tests, anodic polarization curves and corrosion potentials were obtained. The amount of component elements dissolved from amalgams into solution was measured three times by ICP AES(Inductive Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry: Plasma 40. Perkim Elmer Co. U.S.A.). The four different types of amalgam were filled in occlusal and buccal class I cavities of four human 3rd molars. After about five years the restorations were carefully removed after tooth extraction to preserve the structural details including the deteriorated margins. The occlusal surface, amalgam-tooth interface and the fractured surface of in vivo amalgam corrosion products were analyzed. In vivo and in vitro amalgam specimens were examined and analyzed metallographically by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan) and EDAX(Energy Dispersive Micro X-ray Analyser: JSM 840. Jeol Co. Japan). 1. The following results are obtained from in vitro corrosion tests. 1) Corrosion potentials of all amalgams became more noble after ten times passing through the in vitro corrosion test compared to first time. 2) After times through the test, released Cu concentration in saline solution was almost equal but highest in Fine cut. Ag and Hg ion concentration was highest in Caulk spherical and Sn was highest in Dispersalloy. 3) Analyses of surface corrosion products in vitro reveal the following results. a)The corroded surface of Caulk spherical has Na-Sn-Cl containing clusters of $5{\mu}m$ needle-like crystals and oval shapes of Sn-Cl phase, polyhedral Sn oxide phase. b)In Fine cut, there appeared to be a large Sn containing phase, surrounded by many Cu-Sn phases of $1{\mu}m$ granular shapes. c)Dispersalloy was covered by a thick reticular layer which contained Zn-Cl phase. d)In Tytin, a very thin, corroded layer had formed with irregularly growing Sn-Cl phases that looked like a stack of plates. 2. The following results are obtained by an analysis of in vivo amalgam corrosion products. 1) Occlusal surfaces of all amalgams were covered by thick amorphous layers containing Ca-P elements which were abraded by occlusal force. 2) In tooth-amalgam interface, Ca-P containing products were examined in all amalgams but were most clearly seen in low copper amalgams. 3) Sn oxide appeared as a polyhedral shape in internal space in Caulk spherical and Fine cut. 4) Apical pyramidal shaped Sn oxide and curved plate-like Sn-Cl phases resulted in Dispersalloy. 5) In Tytin, Sn oxide and Sn hydroxide were not seen but polyhedral Ag-Hg phase crystal appeared in internal space which assumed a ${\beta}_l$ phase.
