Article Abstract

In this study, an experimental investigation on fabricating Ni-free CoCrW alloys by selective laser melting (SLM) for dental application was conducted in terms of microstructure, hardness, mechanical property, electrochemical behavior, and metal release; and line and island scanning strategy were applied to determine whether these strategies are able to obtain expected CoCrW parts. The XRD revealed that the γ-phase and ε-phase coexisted in the as-SLM CoCrW alloys; The OM and SEM images showed that the microstructure of CoCrW alloys appeared square-like pattern with the fine cellular dendrites at the borders; tensile test suggested that the difference of mechanical properties of line- and island-formed specimens was very small; whilst the outcomes from the electrochemical and metal release tests indicated that the island-formed alloys showed slightly better corrosion resistance than line-formed ones in PBS and Hanks solutions. Considering that the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of line-formed and island-formed specimens meet the standards of ISO 22674:2006 and EN ISO 10271, CoCrW dental alloys can be successfully fabricated by line and island scanning strategies in the SLM process.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of the elemental composition and the manufacturing process of cobalt chromium-molybdenum (CoCr-Mo), cobalt chromium-tungsten (CoCr-W), and CoCr-Mo-W alloys on metal-ceramic bond strength.

Materials And Methods: Six CoCr-based alloys were included in this study, a were classified into three different groups depending on their elemental composition (Ν = 10, for each group). The first group had molybdenum (Mo) as the third alloying element, the second group contained tungsten (W) (without Mo), and the third group included both alloying elements.

Statement Of Problem: Three Co-Cr alloy types (Co-Cr-Mo, Co-Cr-W, and Co-Cr-Mo-W) have been commonly used in the fabrication of dental prostheses. These alloys can be manufactured using either conventional casting or selective laser melting (SLM) techniques. Nevertheless, research that directly compares these materials and/or manufacturing processes in terms of their microstructural and mechanical characteristics is sparse.

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the additive manufacturing (AM) of cobalt chromium Co-Cr and titanium Ti alloy clasps for clinical use. After scanning the Ni-Cr die of the first molar, Akers' clasps were designed using computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The clasps were manufactured from Co-Cr-W dental alloy and Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder using AM machines.

Statement Of Problem: The selective laser melting (SLM) manufacturing technique has been widely employed to produce Co-Cr dental metal frameworks. The selection of Co-Cr alloy powders has the potential to influence the microstructure and tensile properties, consequently impacting the bond strength of the metal-porcelain. However, limited information is available regarding the effect of Co-Cr alloy powder on these properties when all other factors remain consistent.

Laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology which can be an alternative to the traditional subtractive milling process for the obtention of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) prosthesis. Still, the adhesion performance of the veneering ceramics for this material has been not studied yet. The main objective of this study is to perform a systematic comparison of the adhesion performance of Co-Cr-W metal frameworks obtained through LDED and conventional milling techniques.
