hardness :
Some are even harder than enamel If an alloy is harder than enamel, it may wear the opposing enamel during chewing or other jaw movements.
Wrought Alloys
It is shaped into another form by mechanical force. Wrought alloys are made by first casting the alloy into a block, then rolling, drawing, or cutting the alloy into shapes that are used for dental applications.
Wrought Alloys
Wrought alloys have a grain structure often described as fibrous . The fibrous structure is responsible for the increased yield strength and hardness compared with the cast form of the alloys.
Solders
Solders are special alloys used to join other metals and alloys. The alloys to be joined are generally called the substrate alloys.
Solders
Solders may be used to join an orthodontic wire to a band in the construction of a space maintainer
Solders
Joining a clasp wire to a partial denture framework
Solders
Flux : Flux cleans the substrates and dissolves any surface oxides. It is nearly always used during the soldering process. The type of flux required depends on the metallurgy and chemistry of the substrate alloy and its oxide layer.
Solders
Flux : The risk of corrosion in the mouth is higher than if only one metal were present. As with wetting, the composition of the solder and soldered alloys determines the corrosion properties of the combination.
