Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to test the bond strength of a Co-Cr alloy. 40 cylindrical specimens (4 mm in diameter) were made of non-surgical Vitallium, and tensile bond strength was measured after etching and bonding. Etching was done with Oxy-Etch, and etching conditions were as follows: Composition of etching solution: Cone. nitric acid; 1 part glacial acetic acid; 1 part distilled water; 2 parts Current: 300 ma/cm2 Etching time: 3 min. The results were as follows: 1. Tensile bond strength was 435 +/- 116 kg/cm2 2. The result of this study shows that this etching method could be clinically applicable.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
