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
