About soldering supplies
Soldering supplies and torches join cast parts: soldering is a traditional way of joining fixed partial denture components with an intermediate metal. A flux is a substance applied to the surfaces to be joined to clean them, free them from oxides and promote union. The shelf holds soldering rods, flux, laser welding wire and torch tips.
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.
