β¦ Synopsis
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 development of a stress (So) of 28 MN/m2. Subsequent stress relaxation (D,) was recorded for 60 sec. Data were ohtained a t eight nominal temperatures between 0 and 55Β°C.
Over the experimental temperature range, fractional stress losses a t 60 sec (D,/SO/GO) for specimens made from lathe-cut alloys increased from 10% to 58%. The spherical material and the dispersed phase alloy showed fractional stress losses (Dc/So/6O) ranging from 9% to 47% and 9% to 31%. respectively. It would appear that particle morphology and alloy composition affect stress-relaxation hehavior of dental amalgam. Stress decay patterns enhance significantly the mechanical characterization of amalgam alloys.

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
## 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^,

## Early investigations of structural change in amorphous alloys found stress independent relaxation kinetics. The results of this study indicate that this stress independence only occurs above some stress threshold and that for applied stresses below this critical value the relaxation proceeds at
