Abstract: An alloy material includes: a composition, in a composition range of a ternary alloy of silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu), the composition containing 20 to 30 wt % of Ag, 35 to 55 wt % of Pd, and 20 to 40 wt % of Cu. The composition as a base is added with tin (Sn) in a range of 0.5 to 2.5 wt %, further added with any one of or a combination of cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and zinc (Zn) in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 wt %, and added with 0.01 to 0.1 wt % of either one of or a combination of iridium (Ir) and ruthenium (Ru).

Abstract: A dental casting billet material includes: Co as a main component; Cr in a proportion of 26% by mass or more and 35% by mass or less; Mo in a proportion of 5% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less; and Si in a proportion of 0.3% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, wherein the billet material is formed from a sintered body of a metal powder, and the billet material has a relative density of 92% or more and 99.5% or less.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a glass-ceramic containing leucite crystals, comprising the steps of: mixing (1) a glassy material comprising 53 to 65 wt. % of SiO2, 13 to 23 wt. % of Al2O3, 9 to 20 wt. % of K2O and 6 to 12 wt. % of Na2O and (2) synthetic leucite seed crystals comprising 53 to 64 wt. % of SiO2, 19 to 27 wt. % of Al2O3 and 17 to 25 wt. % of K2O, and heat-treating the mixture at 750 to 950° C. for 1 to 5 hours; and a dental porcelain powder and a metal-ceramic restoration both comprising a glass-ceramic prepared by the method. The porcelain comprising the glass-ceramic prepared by the method is substantially free of opacification and decrease in the coefficient of thermal expansion, during fusion-bonding to a metal frame.
