  ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of mechanical properties and sintering performance by adding 5% weight percentage aids to nano-compound zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramics. Micrometer Al2O3 and nanometer ZrO2 (quality ratio 4:1) were used to get 55% volume percentage slurry. Magnesium oxide and titanium oxide were taken as aids which were 5% weight percentage of the Al2O3 and ZrO2 powder. Five groups (number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 group) were divided according to different proportion of aids. After gel-casting, the porcelain pieces were sintered at 1150, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1600 degrees C for 2 hours. Static three-point flexure strength, line shrinkage, relative density were measured and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe section. Number 1 (MgO 1%, TiO2 4%) group had the highest bending strength. It was (401.78+/-19.50) MPa after sintering at 1600 degrees C for 2 hours and was higher than 0 group (380.64+/-44.50) MPa. Bending strength became lower than 0 group when MgO was more than 2% or more than that weight percentage of ZTA powder. When MgO content was higher than 2% or more than that weight percentage, there was no difference in relative density raising rate between each sintering assistants groups. When the sintering temperature was higher than 1200 degrees C, all groups showed obvious line-shrinkage and the groups which contained sintering assistants were all was higher than 0 group. Adding MgO and TiO2 aids from 1% to 4% weight percentage of ZTA will promote fritting and increase ZTA nano-compound ceramics mechanical properties. Adding 2% MgO aids or more than that weight percent will has no obvious help to increase the relative density raising rate of ZTA nano-compound ceramics and will degrade the mechanical properties of ZTA nano-compound ceramics.

  ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the corrosion behavior of three metal materials for dental use (Co-Cr alloy, Ni-Cr alloy, titanium) by measurement of their surface roughness after soaked in artificial saliva with two different pH values. Standard samples were casted respectively from 3 different alloys and grided into the same roughness .Then the samples were exposed to artificial saliva with two different pH values. After three months,the surface roughness of the samples was tested, and the microstructure of surfaces was studied by metalloscope. The data were analyzed with SPSS11.0 software package for one-way ANOVA and t test. There was significant difference in surface roughness of three alloys after exposed to artificial saliva with pH5.6. The surface roughness values of three alloys were listed as follows: Ni-Cr alloy>Co-Cr alloy >titanium(P<0.01). When exposed to artificial saliva with pH7.0, Ni-Cr alloy was found rougher than Co-Cr alloy and titanium(P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in roughness between Co-Cr alloy and titanium(P>0.05).Ni-Cr alloy and Co-Cr alloy soaked in artificial saliva with pH5.6 were found rougher than the same material in artificial saliva with pH7.0(P<0.01).The microstructure of the samples' surface verified the results. Titanium was stable not only in neutral environment but also in acid environment. The corrosion resistance of Co-Cr alloy and Ni-Cr alloy was superior in neutral environment than in acid environment. The corrosion resistance of the three alloys was: Titanium >Co-Cr alloy >Ni-Cr alloy.
