(38 cards)
metals with minimal chemical reactivity, resist oxidation, corrosion, tarnish
noble metals
have intrinsic value, noble + silver
precious
inexpensive non noble metals
base/non-precious
down fall of base metals?
hard to work with
pt=?
platinum
pd=?
palladium
Ir=?
iridium
Rh=?
rhodium
Os=?
osmium
Ru=?
ruthenium
Au=?
gold
Do we usually use noble or alloys?
alloys
problem with gold?
if in contact with an amalgam, can rub the amalgam causing release of mercury which will imbed itself into the gold, making the color become more grey. also causes sensitivity to the patient.
characteristics of gold
soft, malleable, primary component in many alloys, resistant to oxidation/corrosion
Tm of gold?
1063 celcius
pt does what to gold?
increases mechanical properties (strength and hardness)
properties of pt
tough, ductile, malleable
Pd is used interchangeably with what?
Pt
silver alloy allows for what?
inhibition of corrosion
iridium (Ir) and ruthenium (Ru) are what?
grain refiners
Rhodium (Ru) is an alloy with what?
pt- thermocouples
precious metal, malleable, ductile, best electrical, thermal conductor, corrodes with sulfur, chlorine and phosphorous?
silver - Ag
two forms of Au-Cu?
solid (>424) or ordered( <424)
random arrangement, more flexible
solid
