Corrosion Behavior of Amalgam/Cockles Shells Composites in
Artificial Saliva |
Metal matrix
composites have been prepared by adding cockles’ shells CS
powder to dental amalgam with three weight percents 14.2, 28.5
and 42.8 wt% as an attempt to improve the corrosion behavior of
the final product. The corrosion behavior of the doped amalgam
samples investigated using polarization measurements. The
results indicate that addition of small amount of cockles shell
CS powder improves the corrosion behavior due to a homogeneous
distribution of the powder particles with metallic powders.. |
