title: Measurement of oxide adherence to silver-free high-palladium alloys.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to test the adherence strength of oxides to some silver-free high-palladium alloys, and to compare the results to values obtained from Au-Pd and Ni-Cr metals. The results showed that the adherence strengths of the oxides were greater than the reported cohesive strength of opaque porcelain. This would indicate that the oxides formed on the alloys examined in this study are sufficiently adherent to their substrates to produce adequate porcelain bonds.
