Front Back
Tribology
Science of wear
A surface appears shine because the scratches are smaller than the wavelength of visible light...
Less than 0.5 microns
Speed and pressure in polishing is especially important for
Polymers because of temperature changes use lubrication to help with this
Larger the contact area
Faster the rate of abrasion
Metals like other crystals
Have repeated long range order in 3-D
BCCFCCHCP
Body center cubic - FE, TiFace centered cubic- Ag, Pt, Pd, Cu, Fe Hexagonal close packed- Ti
Allotropes
Elements that can exist in more than one tpe of crystal structure diamond - graphite
The smaller the grain size
The better the mechanical properties of dental alloys
Homogeneous nucleation - used in dentistry
Occurs in single-phase metaluses grain refiners
High melting alloying elements that are added to single-phase metal
Grain refiners
Heterogeneous nucleation - not used in dentistry
Adds preformed nuclei in the form of a second phase do not melt and are always solid
Slip
Metal deformation without breaking by planes of atoms sliding by one an other when shear and plastic strain take place
Symmetry increases
The number of slip planes and directions in a system this is what makes dental metals so ductile FCC and HPC configs.
Interstitials are small solutes in alloys that produces
Strengthen
Substitutions are
Similar to the solvent- solute can substitute in the solvent lattice also, strengthens the alloy
