Q
Where will a porcelain-metal bond most likely fail?
A
In the porcelain body
23
Q
Why must the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) be compatible between porcelain and metal?
A
The materials will have a different contraction rate while cooling. The cooling metal should contract causing the brittle porcelain to become more densely packed and thus more sturdy.

28
What is the highest point of the stress/strain graph?
Ultimate Strength
In most dental alloys and ceramics, the U.S. and the Fs (fracture strength) will be very close
29
Which is higher on the stress/strain graph (and subsequently numerically), yield strength or proportional limit.
Yield strength is higher because materials begin to function in a plastic manner. (limited permanent strain HAS occurred)
30
Minute scratches on the surface of materials behave like sharp notches which are \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Stress raisers
31
When stress suddenly rises near a "groove", reaching a max at the edge of the groove is called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_?
This is a phenomenon that occurs around any irregularity in a material.
Stress raiser
32
What is higher a stress raiser or the average stress in the body?
The stress raiser. It can be several times higher. The amount of increased stress depend on the shape of the stress raiser.
33
Why do materials fail at stresses far below their expected strength?
Stress raisers allow stresses to reach the theoretical strength of the material at a relatively low stress. When the theoretical strength is exceeded at the tip of the notch the bonds break at the tip. The adjacent bonds are not the tip of the notch (and become the point of greatest stress concentration). Therefore, the crack will propagate through the material until the crack/fracture will move completely thorughtout the material.

49
What is a thrermoplastic material?
When heated weak physical bonds break and the chains can slide past one another, result in a soft material. On cooling the bongs reform and the material hardens. Materials that under go this softening and hardening are thermoplastic.
50
What is the key feature of a thermoset polymer?
Cross inked polymers DO NOT soften on heating
51
What are the three stages of polymerization?
initiation, propagation, termination
52
What happens in the initiation stage of polymerization?
Free radicals are created which go and attack the double bonds of monomer molecules. Unshared electrons move to the end of the monomer thus activating the monomer molecules.
53
What happens in the propagation stage of polymerization?
Activated monomers attack double bonds of another monomer. More monomers are added to the free radical, and the chains grow in length.
54
What happens during the termination stage of polymerization?
Materials like hydroquinone, eugenol, or large amounts of oxygen inhibit polymerization by reacting with the free radicals. Decreases rate of initiation/ increases termination.
