Chromium is a common element found in base metal alloys used in dent such as cobalt-chromium alloys. The presence of chromium in these alloys plays several important roles in enhancing their properties and performance:
Corrosion Resistance: Chromium forms a passive oxide layer on the surface of the alloy, which helps protect it from corrosion and degradation when exposed to the oral environment. This improved corrosion resistance ensures the longevity and durability of dental restorations made from these alloys.
Strength and Hardness: Chromium hard and strong metal that improves the mechanical properties of base metal alloys addition, hardness, and wear resistance of the alloy, making it suitable for dental applications durability and resistance to wear.
3patibility: Chromium is known for its bipatibility and inertness in the human body. Base
