The tensile and shear strength of a base metal weld joint used in dentistry

Abstract

Samples of a base mental alloy were cast and welded together using a conventional welding procedure. The joints were loaded and placed either in a corrosive environment or in air for varying time periods. The tensile and shear strength of the joints was unaffected by the corrosive environment, and the joints, despite some internal defects, appeared suitable for clinical use.
