[Effects of mold preheating temperatures and the time of melt casting on the structure of cast denture frameworks].
At casting temperatures of 1330 degrees to 1530 degrees C and preheating temperatures of 900 degrees to 1100 degrees C, 28 cast denture frameworks were manufactured using the cobalt chromium alloy Biosil f (Degussa). The inner defects were detected by X-ray defectoscopy and the grain numbers of clasp, connector and basis elements determined by metallography. The best results for compact castings were observed at a temperature range of 1410 degrees to 1480 degrees C. Casting previous to the melting of the last alloy cube results in a structure of clasps and connectors with 100-200 grains/mm2 and a high amount of defects; exceeding the liquidus temperature of 1380 degrees C produces grain numbers of 20-30/mm2, while a casting temperature of 1530 degrees C results in 3-5/mm2. Overheating of the melt, also in connection with low preheating temperatures, is probably a cause for the premature loss of clasp retention and fracture of many denture frameworks.
