An electron microprobe investigation of the extent of microsegregation occurring in base metal dental casting alloys.
Standard tensile specimens were cast from a cobalt base commercial partial denture casting alloy, and from a nickel base alloy. Specimens from the castings were examined metallographically. The electron microprobe was used in order to determine the degree of microsegregation present.
