The fatigue strength of the interface between Ag-Pd alloy and Hydrothermal ceramic

摘要

Objective; The purpose of this paper was to investigate the fatigue strength of a hydrothermal ceramic fused to Ag-Pd alloy. This study compared the values with those of other metal-ceramic systems previously reported by other authors. Methods: This investigation was performed on 48 specimens made of Ag-Pd alloy frames (45 × 12 × 4 mm) on which the hydrothermal Ceramic was fused (25 × 12 × 2 gmm). The specimens were divided into two groups.
