Abstract
The wear of dental amalgam was studied by singleβ and doubleβpass sliding and by a silicon carbide abrasion test. A dispersed amalgam showed significantly better resistance to twoβbody abrasion than the spherical amalgams tested. The wear of amalgam was determined by resistance to penetration and by a ductile mode of surface failure over the load range studied. Differences in the wear of amalgam and restorative resins and composites are discussed.

## 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
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
