Pure Ti as well as Ti-6Al-4V alloy exhibit excellent properties for dental implant applications. However, for a better biocompatibility it seems important to avoid in the composition the presence of V due to the toxic effects of V ion release. Thus Al and V free and composed of non-toxic element such as Nb, Zr alloys as biomaterials have been developed. Especially, Zr contains to same family in periodic table as Ti. The addition of Zr to Ti alloy has an excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In this study, the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-Zr alloys for biomaterials have been investigated using by electrochemical methods. Methods: Ti-Zr(10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) alloys were prepared by arc melting and homogenized for 24 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. Phase constitutions and microstructure of the specimens were characterized by XRD, OM and SEM. The corrosion properties of the specimens were examined through potentiodynamic test (potential range of -1500 ~ 2000 mV), potentiostatic test (const. potential of 300 mV) in artificial saliva solution by potentiostat (EG&G Co, PARSTAT 2273. USA).

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cell toxicity due to ion release caused by galvanic corrosion as a result of contact between base metal and titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS. It was hypothesized that Nickel (Ni)-Chromium (Cr) alloys with different compositions possess different corrosion resistances when contacted with titanium abutment, and therefore in this study, specimens ($10{\times}10{\times}1.5mm$) were fabricated using commercial pure titanium and 3 different types of Ni-Cr alloys (T3, Tilite, Bella bond plus) commonly used for metal ceramic restorations. The specimens were divided into 6 groups according to the composition of Ni-Cr alloy and contact with titanium. The experimental groups were in direct contact with titanium and the control groups were not. After the samples were immersed in the culture medium - Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium[DMEM] for 48 hours, the released metal ions were detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test (P<.05). Mouse L-929 fibroblast cells were used for cell toxicity evaluation. The cell toxicity of specimens was measured by the 3-{4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl}-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. Results of MTT assay were statistically analyzed by the two-way ANOVA test (P<.05). Post-hoc multiple comparisons were conducted using Tukey's tests. RESULTS. The amount of metal ions released by galvanic corrosion due to contact between the base metal alloy and titanium was increased in all of the specimens. In the cytotoxicity test, the two-way ANOVA showed a significant effect of the alloy type and galvanic corrosion for cytotoxicity (P<.001). The relative cell growth rate (RGR) was decreased further on the groups in contact with titanium (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The release of metal ions was increased by galvanic corrosion due to contact between base metal and titanium, and it can cause adverse effects on the tissue around the implant by inducing cytotoxicity.

Abutment screw loosening of implant restorations is a common problem in the treatment of dental implant. The purpose of this study was to calculate stress and preload from the elongation measurements and to determine maximum tightening torque without plastic deformation of the screw. The length of each gold alloy UCLA screw was measured after tightening to the manufacturer's recommended torque of 32 N-cm. Similarity, titanium UCLA screws were measured after tightening to the manufacturer's recommended torque of 20 N-cm. Loosening torque was also measured after tightening to 32 N-cm torque for gold alloy abutment screws and 20 N-cm for titanium abutment screws. The results were as follows ; 1. There was a regressive relationship between screw elongation and tightening torque (gold alloy : $r^2=0.987$, titanium : $r^2=0.978$), and the mean preload calculated from elongation measurements was $501.11{\pm}26.85\;N$ (gold alloy) and $399.43{\pm}7.61\;N$ (titanium). 2. Stress calculated for the gold alloy and titanium screws at maximum recommended tightening torque was less than 60% of their respective yield strengths and with-in the elastic range. Maximum tightening torque without plastic deformation was 61 N-cm (gold alloy) and 39 N-cm (titanium). 3. For titanium screws, there was a significant difference between loosening after trial 1 and loosening after trials 2 to 5 (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was seen in mean loosening torques between the first and subsequent trials for gold alloy screws.

Effects of HA and TiN coating on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-6AI-4V alloys for bone plates were investigated using various test methods. Ti-6AI-4V alloys were fabricated by using a vacuum induction furnace and bone plates were made by laser cutting and polishing. HA was made of extracted tooth sintered and then tooth ash was used as HA coating target. The TiN and HA film coating on the surface were carried on using electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) method. The corrosion behaviors of the samples were examined through potentiodynamic method in 0.9% NaCI solutions at $36.5\pm$$1^{\circ}C$ and corrosion surface was observed using SEM and XPS. The surface roughness of TiN coated bone plates was lower than that of tooth ash coated plates. The structure of TiN coated layer showed the columnar structure and tooth ash coated layer showed equiaxed and anisotrophic structure. The corrosion potential of the TiN coated specimen is comparatively high. The active current density of TiN and tooth ash coated alloy showed the range of about $1.0xl0^{-5}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$, whereas that of the non-coated alloy was$ 1.0xl0^{-4}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$. The active current densities of HA and TiN coated bone plates were smaller than that of non-coated bone plates in 0.9% NaCl solution. The pitting potential of TiN and HA coated alloy is more drastically increased than that of the non-coated alloy. The pit number and pit size of TiN and HA coated alloy decreased in compared with those of non-coated alloy. For the coated samples, corrosion resistance increased in the order of TiN coated, tooth ash coated, and non-coated alloy.

치과용 Ag기 합금에서 30wt%Pd 및 10wt%Cu의 용질농도의 구성비가 3이 되는 3원 합금과 여기에 2wt% Au의 첨가에 미치는 석출상의 영향을 조사 분석하여 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. Ag-Pd-Cu 3원 합금은 $\alpha$ 단일상에서 Ag-rich ${\alpha}_2 $ 및 PdCu 규칙상에 의해서 경화반응이 진행되며 연속승온시효곡선에 의하면 100-$300^{\circ}C$의 저항증가와 300-$500^{\circ}C$의 저항감소라고 하는 2단계 변화에 의해서 경화곡선이 얻어졌다. 또한 본 합금의 시효과정에서는 ${\alpha}{\to}{\alpha}_2+PdCu{\to}$의 2상 분리반응에 의하여 경화원인이 되었다. 석출과정은 ${\alpha}{\to}{\alpha}_1+PdCu{\to}{\alpha}_2+PdCu$ 이고 Cu-rich인 ${\alpha}_2$상은 거의 나타나지 않으며 최고 경도값은 ${\alpha}_2$ 및 PdCu의 2상공존 구역에서 나타났다. 미량의 Au첨가에 의해서 경화는 다소 증가하지만 경화성보다는 내식성에 보다 크게 기여하였고 Pd/Cu=3인 합금은 Pd/Cu=1 또는 1.7의 합금보다도 전반적으로 경도값은 가장 낮게 나타나며 이것은 치과용 Ag기 합금의 시효경화성에는 Cu농도가 크게 기여하였다. 불연속석출물인 nodule 생성물은 입계에 우선 형성되어 $\alpha$ matrix로 진행되어 nodule 석출물은 부드러운 경계면을 가지고 $\alpha$ matrix주위에 strain matrix를 나타내므로 nodule 형성이 본 합금의 시효경화를 야기하였다. 내식성은 Pd 함량이 가장 높은 본 합금에서 매우 양호하게 나타났으며 Pd 함량이 증가가 내식성의 향상에 크게 기여하여 미량의 Au 첨가에 의해서 보다 현저히 효과를 얻었다. 본 합금의 시효열처리 조건은 $450^{\circ}C$ 적절하며 1-120min 시효시간에 걸쳐서 소정의 경도 값을 얻을 수 있고 시효경화성 및 내식성의 결과로부터 Ag-30wt%Pd-10wt%Cu합금 및 미량 Au 합금은 치과용 금속재료로 적합하였다.

본 연구에서는 소성 시 냉각속도를 조절하는 것과 동시에 소성 후 추가적인 후열처리를 시행하는 것이 후열처리를 시행하지 않는 것보다 합금의 경도 상승에 더욱 효과적인지 알아보고자, 다목적용 Ag-Pd-Zn-In-Sn계 합금을 이용하여 모의소성 시 냉각속도의 조절이 소성 및 후열처리에 따른 합금의 경도변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 다목적용 Ag-Pd-Zn-In-Sn계 합금의 모의소성 시 냉각속도를 조절함에 따라 합금의 연화가 억제되었다. Stage 0(4단계의 냉각속도 중 가장 빠른 속도; 소성로 챔버가 소성 종료 즉시 전체가 열린 상태로 냉각되는 단계)으로 냉각속도를 조절하여 합금을 소성한 경우, 모의소성 과정에서 합금이 연화되었으며, 적절한 시간동안의 후열처리가 경도상승에 효과적이었다. Stage 3(4단계의 냉각속도 중 가장 느린 속도; 소성로 챔버가 소성완료 후 닫혀진 상태로 냉각되는 상태)으로 냉각속도를 조절하여 합금을 소성한 경우, 모의소성 과정에서 합금이 연화되지 않았으며, 추가적인 후열처리는 합금의 경도를 하강시켰다. Stage 0으로 모의소성 된 합금에서 30분간의 후열처리에 의해 경도가 크게 상승한 원인은 소성에 의해 기지 내로 고용되었던 석출물이 다시 기지 밖으로 활발하게 석출된 것에 기인하였다. Stage 3으로 모의소성 된 합금에서는 후열처리에 의해 석출물이 기지 내로 다시 고용되었고, 새로운 석출상의 생성이 미미하여 후열처리가 경도 상승에 기여하지 못하였다.

To obtain a biomaterial that has both biological affinity and high mechanical strength, hydroxyapatite granules were implanted into the surface of pure titanium film coated titanium alloy. The film was coated by reactive DC sputtering method on the alloy substrate. Hydroxyapatite granules (32- $38\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter)were spread over titanium alloy substrate and pressed to implant the granules in the substrate. They can be implanted into substrate under 17MPa at $800^{\circ}C$ for 10minutes. The only tops of the granules were exposed and they were firmly stuck in substrate. The hydroxyapatite implanted titanium alloy composites were expected to be useful for biomaterials as artificial bones and dental roots.

For this study, 30 Co-Cr alloy specimens, 15 gold alloy specimens, 15 palladium alloy specimens were casted and seperated on the middle area. 15 sperated Co-Cr specimens and 15 seperated gold alloy specimens were laser welded (GW Group). 15 sperated Co-Cr specimens and 15 sperated gold alloy specimens were soldered by coventional soldering method (GS Group). 15 sperated Co-Cr specimens and 15 seperated palladium alloy specimens were laser welded (PW Group). 15 sperated Co-Cr specimens and 15 sperated palladium alloy specimens were soldered by coventional soldering method (PS Group). Tensile strength, 0.2% yield strength, % elongation were recorded in nine specimens of each group. Bending strength were record in six specimens of each group. These data for four groups were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance(ANOVA). The fracture locations, fractured surfaces were examined by SEM(scanning electron microscope). The results were as following: 1) In the same alloy combination, the tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength and of the laser welded group with same metal combination were significantly less than soldered groups(p<0.05). 2) In the combination of Co-Cr/Palladium, the bending strength of laser welded group were significantly less than that of soldered groups(p<0.05). In the combination of Co-Cr/Gold, the bending strength of laser welded group were significantly higher than that of soldered groups(p<0.05). 3) In the same method of joint, the tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength and bending strength of the Co-Cr/gold were significantly higher than Co-Cr/palladium(p<0.05). 4) There was no significantly statistical difference between each group in the % elongation(p>0.05). 5) The fracture of the laser welded specimens occured in the welding area and a large void was observed at the center of the fracture surface. 6) The fracture of the soldered specimens occured also inthe soldered area and many porpsities were showed at the fracture sites.
