Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated casting and heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of a commercial Ag-Pd-Cu-Au alloy as evaluated by electrochemical techniques. After repeated casting, the fifth cast of the Ag-Pd-Cu-Au alloy exhibited dramatic degradation of properties, although upon heat treatment, this corrosion resistance did improve. Despite the improvement by heat treatment, after five castings, this alloy may not have satisfactory hardness for clinical use. These results of this study demonstrate that, up to the fourth cast and heat treatment, the Ag-Pd-Cu-Au alloy has acceptable corrosion resistance and hardness.
