- METALS: INTRODUCTION Metals are one of the mainstays of
dentistry They are a group of structural materials and are best
suited for stress bearing applications
- Slide 3
- INTRODUCTION Esthetic restorations are ideal for single tooth
restoration Metals are ideal for more than one tooth replacement

- STRUCTURE OF METAL In metals, atoms are tightly packed in a
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE (GRAIN) (A regular arrangement of atoms that
repeats itself many times) The repeating entity is called the UNIT
CELL. The unit cell is the basic building block of a metal
Collection of many crystals in a metal is termed
polycrystalline

- Slide 8
- Slide 9
- The structure of the GB is more non-crystalline GB is a
higher-energy-region than the interior of the grain Impurities in
metal may be found in greater concentrations at the GB GB is more
readily attacked by chemicals GRAIN BOUNDARIES (GB)

- Slide 22
- Dislocations Dislocation is crucial for the plastic, or
permanent deformation of a materials Without dislocation very high
amount of mechanical stress is required for deformation

- CAST & WROUGHT METAL Cast metal is produced when molten
metal is allowed to cool in a mold Wrought metal is produced by
deforming (process of working) the cast metal Wrought alloy
exhibits properties and micro- structure that is not associate with
the same alloy when cast
- Slide 25
- WROUGHT METAL Stainless steel (orthodontic wires, crowns,
clasps, root canal reamers & surgical instruments)
Cobalt-chromium nickel Nickel titanium Commercially pure (CP)

- Hot working (elevated temperature) Cold working (plastic
deformation at room temp) rolling, drawing, pressing etc. Also
called work hardening WROUGHT METAL: 2 TYPES OF WORKING

- WROUGHT METAL
- Slide 29
- COLD WORKING Strengthening mechanism Cold working increases the
physical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength,
surface hardness, decreases ductility (% elongation at failure)
Cold working takes place in metal by the motion of defects through
the material (SLIP)
- Slide 30
- Compaction of direct filling gold (cohesive gold/ gold foil) is
an example for clinical application of work hardening CLINICAL
APPLICATION OF WORK HARDENING
- Slide 31
- Annealing refers to a heat treatment in which a material is
exposed to an elevated temperature for an extended period of time
and then slowly cooled (3 stages). Annealing eliminates or reduces
the effects off cold working It relives stresses, increases
ductility and toughness Heat treatment of metals: ANNEALING
- Slide 32
- 1.Recovery 2.Recrystallization 3.Grain growth STAGES IN
ANNEALING
- Slide 33
- The cold worked properties begin to disappear before any
significant change is observed microscopically. Very little
decrease in tensile strength Very little change in ductility
Pronounced change in electrical conductivity RECOVERY:
(STRESS-RELIEF ANNEAL )
- Slide 34
- This occurs when further heat is applied to the cold worked
material. The previous grains are replaced by new, smaller,
stress-free ones (refines grain structure) Decreases hardness &
tensile strength Increases ductility, malleability & corrosion
resistance RECRYSTALLIZATION
- Slide 35
- It follows recrystallization when the metal is overheated This
process causes migration of the grain boundary, whereby large grain
replaces many small ones Grain growth occurs only in wrought metals
Mechanical properties are lowered by grain growth GRAIN GROWTH
- Slide 36
- Effects of annealing on tensile strength and ductility
- Slide 37
- Wires should NEVER BE RECRYSTALLIZED, ONLY RECOVERY This is to
preserve the fibrous grain structure PRECAUTION
