Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the micro-hardness of the titanium castings manufactured by a new investment for titanium casting.

Methods

Six titanium casting specimens(20 mm × 20 mm × 1.5 mm) were divided into two groups and cast by a new titanium investment material and Rematitan Plus investment material, respectively.Micro-hardness was measured by a micro-hardness instrument (Leitz Wetzlar, Germany) under a load of 200 g for 5 s at different points from the surface to the interior on sections of specimens embedded in acrylic resin.The thickness of the micro-hardness layers of the two titanium castings was compared.

Results

Vicker's hardness of the tested specimens was higher at the surface layers than in the inner layers.However, the increasing rate of the hardness at the surface layer is smaller with the new titanium investments than with Rematitan Plus investments.The micro-hardness layer of the titanium casting manufactured by the new titanium investments is 50 μm through the cross-section of the surface, thinner than that of Rematitan Plus' (140 μm).

Conclusions

The new titanium investments were more suitable for titanium casting than the Rematitan Plus investments.Titanium castings, such as crowns, removable partial denture frame-works, could be manufactured successfully by the new titanium investments.

Key words: Micro-hardness, Surface hardness layer, Investments, Titanium
