Dental Materials Division, Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, Georgia 30912 The mechanism of formation of nodular material on the surface of a Pd-Ag-based alloy for porcelain during pre-porcelainization heat treatment was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, quantitative metallography, and Auger electron spectroscopy. The nodules were found to form by a Nabarro-Herring creep mechanism driven by the internal oxidation of tin and indium. Implications of this process with regard to porcelain bonding and discoloration are discussed.
