[Experimental research on porcelain fused to the surface of pure titanium and titanium alloys].
Titanium material has been widely used in prosthodontics since the end of 1980s. However, the research on porcelain fused to the surfaces of titanium material was quite few. This article introduced the technological process of low-fusing dental porcelain--Ceratin fused to pure titanium and titanium alloys. The values of the bond strength of Ceratin and titanium substrates were obtained by shearing test with INSTRON Model-1185. The average value of the shearing strength between TA2 and Ceratin was 31. 01MPa. The corresponding value between TC4 and Ceratin was 33.73MPa. The interface between Ceratin and titanium substrate was observed with scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of this research proposed that it is hopeful that Ceratin is used as special procelain with titanium material.
