Abstract
A nickel-chromium based alloy comprised of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, cobalt, silicon and boron to which tin and indium is added as essential alloying elements to provide markedly improved fluidity, castability, workability and adhesion to porcelain with lighter oxide filed without impairing the strength and resistance of the alloy to deformation. The combination of properties makes the alloy particularly useful as a dental alloy for making bridges, crowns and inlays and for casting jewelry.
