Abrasion Resistance of Concrete01:23

Abrasion Resistance of Concrete

648
Abrasion resistance is an essential characteristic of concrete that determines its durability and longevity under various wear conditions. Concrete surfaces are vulnerable to different types of abrasion. For instance, surfaces may wear down due to the constant movement of vehicles or be eroded by solids carried in water, as seen in concrete canal linings. Specific tests are conducted to measure the abrasion resistance of concrete.
One such test is the revolving disc test, where three plates...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Grinding CAD-CAM ceramics with diamond discs causes damage, significantly reducing the strength of glass-ceramics. Softer materials like resin-infiltrated feldspar and nano-ceramic composites are more resistant to this surface damage.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Ceramic Engineering

Background:

  • Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials are widely used for dental restorations.
  • Grinding and finishing procedures can induce surface and subsurface damage, potentially compromising the mechanical integrity of these materials.
  • Understanding the impact of grinding on different CAD-CAM materials is crucial for ensuring restoration longevity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the extent of surface and subsurface damage on five different CAD-CAM restorative materials after grinding with diamond discs.
  • To quantify the potential loss in fracture strength based on measured crack sizes.
  • To compare the damage susceptibility and strength reduction across various ceramic and composite materials.

Main Methods:

  • Five CAD-CAM materials were tested: Lithium disilicate (LIT), leucite glass-ceramic (LEU), feldspar ceramic (VM2), resin-infiltrated feldspar ceramic (EN), and nano-ceramic composite (LU).
  • Specimens were ground using diamond discs of 75µm, 54µm, and 18µm grit sizes.
  • Chip damage at the bonded interface was quantified using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
  • Fracture mechanics principles were applied to estimate fracture stresses and strength loss based on chip dimensions.

Main Results:

  • Grinding with a 75µm diamond disc caused critical chips (avg. 100µm) in glass-ceramics (LIT, LEU, VM2), leading to an estimated strength loss of 33-54%.
  • Softer materials, resin-infiltrated feldspar ceramic (EN) and nano-ceramic composite (LU), exhibited minimal damage (avg. 26µm and 17µm chips, respectively) with no significant strength loss.
  • Even finer grinding (18µm) remained detrimental to Lithium disilicate (LIT), causing 43µm chips and a 42% potential strength reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Grinding glass-ceramics and feldspar ceramics with diamond discs induces significant surface and subsurface damage, reducing their strength.
  • Resin-infiltrated and nano-ceramic composite materials demonstrate superior resistance to grinding-induced damage compared to traditional glass-ceramics.
  • Post-grinding polishing is essential, particularly for glass-ceramics, to mitigate strength degradation.
