The success of the porcelain fused to gold alloy restoration depends not only on the choice of materials but to a larger degree on the technical skills. The porcelain fused to metal(PFM) alloys containing gold are commonly use for dental purposes in dental laboratory. The gold-colored alloys contain primarily gold, platinum, palladium, and silver, with minimum amounts of such metals as tin, iridium, or titanium. The purpose of this study is on the metal-porcelain fusing layer in porcelain fused to high gold alloy Principal results are as follows. The hardness number(Hv) of PFG is respectively $140.2{\pm}12.6$ in as-casted, $164.3{\pm}14.3$ in heat-treated, $186.6{\pm}20.4$ in fired-treated. The formation of the fusing(intermediate) layer caused by components fusing the interface of porcelain and gold alloy. The main components of the fusing(intermediate) layer are Na, Al, Si, K, Zn, Zr and Ce. The intermediate layer formed by the 2nd firing is more larger than the intermediate layer formed by the 1st firing.

Ti6Al4V alloy have been mainly used as implant materials. Ti-6Al-4V alloy instead of pure Ti is being widely used as biomaterials has some characteristics such as high fatigue strength, tensile strength. But it has been reported recently that vanadium component expresses cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity and aluminium component is related with dementia of Alzheimer type. In order to overcome their detrimental effects, $\beta$-phase stabilizer Nb was chosen in the present study, in addition Ta and Hf were added to Ti-40wt.%Nb alloy to improve its mechanical properties. This paper was described the influence of heat treatment of Ti-40Nb alloys with 2wt%Ta, 2wt%Hf on the mechanical properties. Specimens of Ti alloys were melted in vacuum arc furnace and homogenized at 1050$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. and then were aged after solution heat treat at $\alpha+\beta$ and $\beta$ regions. The mechanical properties of Ti alloys were analysed by hardness test, tensile test, elongation test and SEM test. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The mechanical properties Ti-40wt.%Nb were improved when 2wt.% Ta and 2wt.%Hf were added. 2. The higher tensile strength value and elongation at solution heat treat was higher than solution heat treat and then were aged.

Ti and Ti alloys are important materials for medical and dental applications. The effect of equal channel angular process(ECAP) and addition of Fe in Ti were studied with optical microstructure and corrosion behavior. Fine grains in Ti was obtained after ECAP. Corrosion behavior of commercial pure(CP)-Ti and Ti alloys was studied by open circuit test and polarization curve test(PCT) at $36.5^{\circ}C$ with SBF in biological environment. The corrosion behavior of ECAP-Ti was similar to that of CP-Ti in PCT, but Ti-Fe alloys were observed to become more corrosive with increasing Fe content.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to observe the microstructural changes of surface in the specimens, performing the shear bond strength testing. The currently most used non-precious alloys are nickel-chromium based alloys with or without beryllium. However, their biocompatibility has been questioned concerning possible damages to the health of the patient and professionals involved in the fabrication of prosthesis caused by long exposure to Ni and Be. An option to nickel-chromium alloys is the cobalt-chromium alloy, an alternative that does not sacrifice the physical properties of the metal porcelain systems. Studies in the animals substantially show that the cobalt-chromium alloys are relatively well tolerated, being therefore more biocompatible than the nickel-chromium alloys. Methods: Non-addition Be to nickel-chromium based alloy(Bellabond plus) and cobalt-chromium alloy which has been widely used(Wirobond C) fused with ZEO light porcelain classified control group and cobalt-chromium alloy which is developing alloy of Alphadent company in Korea(Alphadent alloy) fused with ZEO light porcelain classified experimental group. The specimens of $4mm{\times}4mm{\times}0.5mm$ were prepared as-cast and as-opaque to cast body to analyze the mechanical characteristic change, the microstructure of alloy surface. The phase change was used to observe through XRD analysis and OM/SEM was used to observe the surface of specimens as-cast and as-opaque to cast body. Chemical formation of their elements was measured with EDS. Then hardness was measured with Micro Vicker's hardness tester. Shear bond strength test thirty specimens of $10mm{\times}10mm{\times}2mm$ was prepared, veneered, 3mm high and 3mm in diameter, over the alloy specimens. The shear bond strength test was performed in a universal testing machine(UTM) with a cross head speed of 0.5mm/min. Ultimate shear bond strength data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and the Scheffe's test (P<0.05). Within the limits of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: The X-ray diffraction analysis results for the as-cast and as-opaque specimens showed that the major relative intensity of Bellabond plus alloy were changed smaller than Wirobond C and Alphadent Co-Cr based alloys. Results: Microstructural analysis results for the opaque specimens showed all the alloys increased carbides and precipitation(PPT). Alphadent Co-Cr based alloy showed the carbides of lamellar type. The Vickers hardness results for the opaque specimens showed Wirobond C and Alphadent Co-Cr based alloys were increaser than before ascast, but Bellabond plus alloy relatively decreased. The mean shear bond strengths (MPa) were: 33.11 for Wirobond C/ZEO light; 25.00 for Alphadent Co-Cr alloy/ZEO light; 18.02 for Bellabond plus/ZEO light. Conclusion: The mean shear bond strengths for Co-Cr and Ni-Cr based alloy were significantly different. But the all groups showed metal-metal oxide modes in shear bond strengths test at the interface.

Pure titanium and its alloys are drastically used in implant materials due to their excellent mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. However, the widely used Ti-6Al-4V is found to release toxic ions (Al and V) into the body, leading to undesirable long-term effects. Ti-6Al-4V has much higher elastic modulus than cortical bone. Therefore, titanium alloys with low elastic modulus have been developed as biomaterials to minimize stress shielding. For this reason, Ti-30Ta-xZr alloy systems have been studied in this study. The Ti-30Ta containing Zr(5, 10 and 15 wt%) were 10 times melted to improve chemical homogeneity by using a vacuum furnace and then homogenized for 24 hrs at $1000^{\circ}C$. The specimens were cut and polished for corrosion test and Ti coating and then coated with TiN, respectively, by using DC magnetron sputtering method. The analyses of coated surface were carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM). The electrochemical characteristics were examined using potentiodynamic (- 1500 mV~+ 2000 mV) and AC impedance spectroscopy(100 kHz~10 mHz) in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The equiaxed structure was changed to needle-like structure with increasing Zr content. The surface defects and structures were covered with TiN/Ti coated layer. From the polarization behavior in 0.9% NaCl solution, The corrosion current density of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys decreased as Zr content increased, whereas, the corrosion potential of Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys increased as Zr content increased. The corrosion resistance of TiN/Ti-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys were higher than that of the TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys. From the AC impedance in 0.9% NaCl solution, polarization resistance($R_p$) value of TiN/Ti coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys showed higher than that of TiN-coated Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys.

최근, 치과 산업에서 레이저를 열원으로 합금을 제조하는 선택적 레이저 용융법(Selective laser melting, SLM)이 소개되고 있다. 하지만 SLM으로 제작된 금속-세라믹 수복물에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 SLM 그리고 CAST(casting)에 의해 제조된 Co-Cr 합금의 금속-세라믹(metal-ceramic) 결합 강도(bond strength)를 평가하는 것이다. SLM 그리고 CAST 방법을 사용하여 Co-Cr 시편을 제조하고 세라믹을 소결하여 시료를 제작하였다. 연구의 실험은 표본 준비 및 분석을 통해 2020년 1월부터 6월까지 수행되었다. 금속-세라믹 결합 강도는 만능 시험기에 의해 측정되었다. 부착 세라믹의 면적분(The area fraction of adherence ceramic, AFAC)은 SEM/EDS로 시편의 Si 함량을 측정하였다. 금속-세라믹 결합 강도 및 AFAC 결과는 t-test를 사용하여 분석하였다(α = .05). SLM 그리고 CAST Co-Cr 합금 사이의 결합 강도에 대해서는 유의한 차이가 발견되지 않았다(P>.05). SLM은 CAST 그룹보다 많은 세라믹 부착성(ceramic adherence)을 나타냈다(P<.001). 세라믹과 합금의 결합 강도는 제조 방법엥 영향을 받지 않았다. 그러나 SLM은 더 우수한 세라믹 부착성을 보였다. 이는 향후 임플란트 상부 보철물 제작에도 SLM으로 제작한 합금이 사용 가능한 것을 시사한다. CAST 방식의 단점을 극복하고 시간과 비용을 절약할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The author studied the effects of some dental gold alloys and dental nonprecious metals on muscle. The metal specimens were cast in the size of $1.0mm.{\times}5.0mm.{\times}3.0mm.$ and implanted in the gluteus maximus musculus of the two dogs. The subjects were sacrificed at 3 weeks and 5 weeks respectively after implantation. The tissue was examined his to-pathologically. The findings were as follows. 1. The more the alloy contains gold, the less the tissue response to the alloy and the less the connective tissue layer around the specimens. 2. The recovery of connective tissue layer in gold specimens was markedly observed. 3. There were very thick connective layers around nonprecious specimens.
