title: Flexural strength of a high-temperature soldered cobalt-chromium alloy.
abstract: The flexural strength of a high-temperature soldered cobalt-chromium alloy was compared with that of the intact alloy. In one test group the specimens were soldered by Vitallium welding rods and in the other group Bego cobalt-chromium solder was used. The cylindrical portion of all specimens was mounted equally in an Instron testing machine. No statistically significant differences were found in flexural strength between the groups.
