Mechanical properties and microstructure characterisation of Au-Pt dental alloyRudolf, Rebeka (Avtor) Zupančič Hartner, Tjaša (Avtor) Kosec, Ladislav (Avtor) Todorović, Aleksandar (Avtor) Kosec, Borut (Avtor) Anžel, Ivan (Avtor) Au dental alloypropertiesmicrostructurecharacterizationDevelopment of a dental alloy with high Au content is based on the ternary system of Au-Pt-Zn with a nominal composition of 86,9Au-9,9Pt-1,5Zn, and about 1,5 wt.% micro-alloying elements (In, Ir, Rh). The results analyses of different heat-treated states showed that the optimal mechanical properties and hardness of an Au-Pt-Zn alloy can be reached with combinations of heat treatment for 20 minutes at 723 K and then slowly cooling, if the alloy was annealed at 1223 K for 30 minutes and the water quenched. Research results confirmed that the microstructure of the Au-Pt-Zn alloy consists of two phases: α1-phase rich in Au (main phase) and α2-phase rich in Pt (minor phase). During XRD analysis and use of the Rietveld method, it was found that the α1-phase content is about 98,5 wt.% while the content of α2-phase is 1,5 wt.%. STA analyses show that the Au-Pt-Zn alloy has a solidus temperature of about 1292 K and a liquidus temperature of about 1412 K.20082017-07-03 13:38:39Znanstveno delo66576ISSN: 1334-2576UDK: 669OceCobissID: 524301593COBISS_ID: 827487ISSN pri članku: 1334-2576NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:ZO87I0UCsl
