Casting metals, Part I.
The status of casting alloys is presented with regard to metallurgical considerations, clinical properties, sales, and evolution of alloys from a historic perspective. Alloys are classified on the basis of 1) normal-fusing (non-porcelain bonding); and 2) high-fusing (porcelain bonding) and on nobility within these two groups. Part I of this two-part series details normal-fusing alloys. High-fusing alloys will be discussed in Part II.
