title: The corrosion behaviour of high-palladium porcelain-bonding alloys.
abstract: The corrosion behaviour of eight commercial high-Pd alloys was investigated and compared to that of Pd-Ag systems. They were tested with standard potentiodynamic techniques in 0.9 per cent saline solution and an artificial saliva. The corrosion behaviour of the high-Pd alloys was satisfactory and essentially equivalent. In more systems anodic overloading in 0.9 per cent saline in this alloy group seemed to be superior compared to the Pd-Ag alloy group. Within the high-Pd alloy systems compositional and constitutional variations were apparently too small to result in substantial electrochemical effects.
