Abstract:
This study evaluated the bond strengths between experimental Ti-20Cr-1X (X=Nb, Mo, Fe, Zr) alloys and porcelain (Duceratin). The results of this bond strength testing indicated that all the Ti-20Cr-1X alloys exceeded the lower limit value in the ISO 9693 standard for the 3-point bending test (25 MPa), and were all higher than that of commercially pure titanium (c.p. Ti). The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values of all Ti-20Cr-1X alloys were higher than that of c.p. Ti, and this result of a closer match between CTEs shows the fact that the Ti-20Cr-1Mo alloy had a significantly higher bond strength than both the other Ti-20Cr-1X alloys and c.p. Ti.
