β¦ Synopsis
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 potentials of Cu, Ag, Zn, Ag2Hg3, Ag3Sn and finished dental amalgam showed only a slight increase in the anodic direction as the load increased. The potentials of Sn and Sn amalgams, on the other hand, showed a considerable increase.
Most of the above results were explained as being a consequence of the rupture and repair of protective films as stress was applied or released. For Sn, however, it was necessary to postulate a complex attack by the corrodant to explain the large potential change.

Short-term stress relaxation of four dental amalgam alloys was studied. Test materials included two conventional lathe-cut restoratives, a spherical alloy, and a dispersed phase product. Specimens were 24-hr-old 4 X 8-mm cylinders. The specimens were compressed and held a t constant strain on develo
Previous studies have shown preferential corrosion of the q'(Cu-Sn) phase in highcopper dental amalgam both in vifro and in vivo, while samples of pure 7' have shown high corrosion resistance. To clarify this contradiction, samples of pure q' crystals mixed with other phases were prepared and tested
## Abstract Equipment is described which enables the determination of the creep behavior of small specimens of dental amalgam under tensile stresses. The apparatus has been used to measure the creep strain of both low and high copper dental amalgams at 34Β°C, in the stress range 9.4 to 38.8 MNm^β2^,
## Abstract The rotating ringβdisk electrode technique has been applied to the study of anodic dissolution of dental amalgam in a simulated saline solution. The electroactive domains of the silver, tin, and mercury couples (the main constituents of the amalgam) were determined from currentβpotenti
## Abstract The anodic behaviour of massive and dental amalgam alloys in artificial saliva containing different concentrations of Cl^β^ or F^β^ ions has been studied. Quantitative relations could be established between concentrations of these ions and the height of the peaks corresponding to anodic
