The effect of three different surface treatments on the tensile strength of the resin bond to nickel-chromium-beryllium alloy.
The effect of three different metal surface treatments on the tensile strength of the resin bond to non-noble nickel-chromium-beryllium alloy was studied by bonding metal to metal. Chemical etching of the metal for 1 hour obtained the highest strength, followed by air-abraded bond specimens. Lowest strength was obtained with the gel-etch method. All resulted in clinically acceptable values.
