The Mechanism of Tensile Failure in a Nickel-Base Casting Alloy

Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School, University of Western Australia, Perth 6000, Western Australia

Standard tensile specimens were cast from a nickel-base partial denture casting alloy and subsequently fractured in a tensile stress testing machine. Fracture sites were subjected to scanning electron microscopy in order to determine the exact mechanism by which failure had occurred. A metallographic examination of prepared specimens was used to demonstrate the distribution of phases within the alloy.
