About nickel-chrome alloys
Nickel-chromium alloy, with or without beryllium, has been described as the most commonly used base metal alloy in clinical practice. Base metal alloys have higher yield and tensile strength and better resistance to creep than noble alloys.
A base metal alloy is an alloy composed of metals that are not noble. The FDA describes a base metal alloy as composed primarily of base metals such as nickel, chromium or cobalt, for cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations (21 CFR 872.3710).
ISO 22674 sets the requirements and test methods for the metallic materials used to make dental restorations and appliances, with or without a ceramic veneer.
How cobalt-chrome alloys, nickel-chrome alloys and soldering supplies differ
- Cobalt-Chrome Alloys — Cobalt with up to 30 percent chromium; the framework alloy.
- Nickel-Chrome Alloys — Nickel-based; listed here as a ceramic alloy.
- Soldering & Torches — What joins cast parts: solder, flux, welding wire and torch tips.
What to look at when choosing an alloy
Use: ISO 22674 covers metallic materials recommended for use with a ceramic veneer, without one, or for both.
Handling: base metal alloys are technique sensitive in the laboratory, especially during casting and soldering.
Soldered joints: one study found no significant difference in joint strength or porosity between gas-oxygen torch and infrared soldering, or between gaps of 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.
