Some properties of a stir-cast Ni-Cr based dental alloy.
A Ni-Cr based crown and bridge alloy has been successfully stir-cast into small investment mould spaces using a modified induction melting and casting machine. Stir-casting produced substantial improvements to the mechanical properties of the cast alloy. A model for the development of the stir-cast microstructure is described and the clinical significance of the improvements in the alloy's properties is discussed.
