Corrosion test for dental amalgam
M. Marek
A corrosion test for dental amalgam, based on controlled potential
coulometry, provides an index of corrosion susceptibility. A special cell
was designed, and optimum test conditions were determined. The test can be
used for the rating of amalgams, and in studies of the effect of variables
on the corrosion resistance.
