    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Biomaterials
    • Metallurgy

    Background:

    • Dental prosthetic restorations require durable and biocompatible materials.
    • Traditional gold alloys face challenges in balancing mechanical properties and cost.
    • Cobalt-gold (Co-Au) binary alloys present a potential alternative for dental applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a new 10 wt% Cobalt - 90 wt% Gold (Co-Au) binary alloy for dental casting.
    • To evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the alloy's microstructure and hardness.
    • To assess the suitability of the alloy for conventional dental casting procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Characterization of the Co-Au alloy's rod-eutectic structure using transmission electron microscopy.
    • Application of solution treatment and precipitation treatment to modify alloy hardness.
    • Performance evaluation through conventional dental casting experiments.
    • Metallographic analysis of casting surfaces post-heat treatment.

    Main Results:

    • The alloy exhibited a rod-eutectic microstructure with cobalt rods in a gold matrix.
    • Specialized heat treatment increased the alloy's hardness to 280 Hv.
    • Transmission microscopy confirmed cobalt atom groups as the hardening mechanism in the gold matrix.
    • Casting experiments showed no cobalt rods on the surface layer of heat-treated restorations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 10 wt% Co-Au alloy demonstrates a promising combination of microstructure and enhanced hardness.
    • Heat treatment is effective in optimizing the mechanical properties of this binary alloy for dental use.
    • The absence of cobalt rods on casting surfaces suggests good biocompatibility and aesthetic potential for prosthetic restorations.
