Work hardening and forming behavior of cast dental alloys.
The work hardening characteristics several casting alloys were determined from true stress-true strain data. A regression technique was used to fit the data to linear or nonlinear mathematical expressions. Manipulation of the expressions made it possible to calculate the work necessary to deform the alloys. Several nonprecious alloys proved to be as easy to cold form as a conventional, high gold containing alloy.
