Comparative Study
Effect of pressure of helium, argon, krypton, and xenon on the porosity, microstructure, and mechanical properties of commercially pure titanium castings.
Porosity is a frequently observed casting defect in dental titanium alloys. ⋯ Porosity and mechanical properties of cp Ti castings are dependent on the gas type and pressure, whereas the microstructure remains unaffected.
