چکیده

It has been demonstrated that a Cs(2)O-stabilized leucite porcelain was susceptible to a stress-induced phase transformation, but toughening was not observed.1 It was hypothesized that if Cs(2)O-stabilized leucite core particles were added to a cesium-free matrix porcelain, selected or designed to enhance the toughening mechanism, toughening would occur. A commercial porcelain (VP) and a synthesized leucite-based porcelain (NP) were the matrix materials. Core particles of Cs(2)O (0.0-2.0 mol%) containing synthetic leucite were mixed with the two cesium-free matrix porcelains and vacuum fired into specimens for testing. The toughness of both types of matrix-based materials was dependent upon cesium content of the added core particles with a maximum toughness reached for those containing 0.75 mol% Cs(2)O. The toughness of the 0.75 mol% specimens (1.42 MNm(-3/2) for VP based and 2.15 MNm(-3/2) for NP based) was statistically (p <.02) higher than either of the matrix materials alone or the matrix materials containing added core particles of synthetic cesium-free leucite. However, the toughest materials (0.75 mol% Cs(2)O) were not the strongest materials, most likely because of large internal flaws. The results suggested that transformation toughening was possible.

Effect of leucite crystals on the strength of glassy porcelain.

Porcelains with leucite crystals dispersed into various glass matrices were prepared for investigating the effects of the leucite crystals on the mechanical strength of glassy porcelain. The strength of glassy porcelains containing leucite crystals was affected by the differences of thermal expansion coefficients, compositions and deformation temperatures of the glass matrices. In the case of a...

Leucite content of selected dental porcelains.

Leucite is a major crystalline component of dental porcelains. The presence of tetragonal leucite in dental porcelains increases their coefficients of thermal expansion due to its high coefficient of thermal expansion (20-25 x 10(-6)/degrees C). This is particularly useful for those porcelains designed for bonding to precious metals and nickel alloys. The purpose of this study was to determine ...

Effect of cooling condition on leucite crystals in dental porcelains.

X-ray diffractometry (XRD) was used to analyze the crystal phases of three commercial dentin and incisal porcelains prepared by normal cooling, quenching in water, and controlled slow annealing after normal firing. There were no remarkable differences in the contents of either tetragonal and cubic leucite in the fired porcelain discs prepared under the three cooling conditions. Furthermore, the...
