Abstract

The aim of the present research was to develop a new dental titanium alloy with good castability and biocompatibility. Since Zr is known to have good biocompatibility and form a continuous solid solution with Ti, we selected Zr as an additive element. Also, Sn is expected to have the stabilizing effect of the alpha-phase. Based on this information, we prepared ternary Ti-Zr-Sn alloys with different compositions. Castability, porosity, tensile strength, and crystal structure of the experimental Ti-Zr-Sn alloys were examined. The results showed that the Ti-Zr-Sn alloys possess excellent castability and tensile strength exceeding twice that of pure Ti. This evidence suggests that Ti-Zr-Sn alloys can be used as dental casting alloys.
