## Abstract The polarization resistance and anodic polarization curves of three amalgam types were determined in saline solution. Corrosion currents were determined by extrapolation of anodic Tafel slopes. A good correlation was found between corrosion currents and reciprocal polarization resistanc

The effects of corrosion on the major phases of dental amalgam microstructure have been studied in vitro on samples prepared by electroplating mercury on AgaSn. Tests were made in synthetic saliva, and samples were examined in a scanning electron microscope before and after the exposure. Contact of
Corrosion potentials of materials composing dental amalgam have been measured in artificial saliva as the specimens were subjected to an increasing tensile load. Further, tensile tests have been carried out on specimens which had been previously subjected to controlled corrosion. The corrosion pote
