[An electron probe x-ray microanalysis of dental alloys]. / Elektronno-zondovyi rentgenovskii mikroanaliz nekotorykh stomatologicheskikh splavov.

Electron probe x-ray microanalysis of 3 commercial cobalt-chromium-based alloys, CCA (USSR), Biosil and Vakukast (FRG), has revealed that CCA is initially heterogenic, this being explained, probably, by elevated chromium content. Biosil and Vakukast are similar in composition and represent a matrix with eutectic insertions of intermetallides and a small amount of oxides. Physical and mechanical characteristics of these alloys are described.
