[Dental application of superplastic forming for titanium complete denture bases]. 1989

H Murakami

In order to investigate the application of superplastic in forming dental prosthesis, the sheets of titanium and its alloy were deformed to the complete denture bases by using a trial hot press and ceramic die. The results are summarized as follows: 1) By the hot press. It was possible to deform the sheet at a deformation speed ranging from 1 x 10(-3) to 3 x 10(-2) mm/sec at a temperature up to 900 degrees C under a vacuum down to 10(-3) Torr. 2) The trial ceramic die was prepared by sintering the green of the CaO-TiO2-ZrO2-MgCl2 system at 1150 degrees C for 6 hours in the atmosphere. The compressive strength, the thermal expansion, and the surface roughness of the test piece of the die were 11 kg/cm2, 0.8%, Ra = 1.4 microns and Rz = 6.8 microns, respectively. 3) Both the sheet of pure chemical titanium and commercial superplastic titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V were deformed under the conditions of about 0.1 mm/min, 850 degrees C, and 10(-3) Torr. The deformed surface of the complete denture bases appeared to be nearly the same metallic color of each raw sheet and the pattern was the same as the detail of the die. The oxygen enriched layer of the article determined by EPMA was far thinner than that of a dental cast.
