    PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a copper-aluminium-nickel alloy which has properties comparable to that of dental alloys used for dental post and core applications with the reasonable cost. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen groups of experimental... copper alloys with variants of 3, 6, 9, 12 wt% Al and 0, 2, 4, 6 wt% Ni were prepared and casted. Their properties were tested and evaluated. The data of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties were analyzed using the two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test

    the frictional forces between a stainless steel bracket and five different wire alloys under dry and wet (artificial saliva) conditions. TiNi, TiNiCu, TiNiCo, commercial wires A and commercial wires B with equal dimensions of 0.016 × 0.022′′ were tested... roughness testing. Static and kinetic friction forces were measured using a custom-designed apparatus, with a 3-mm stretch of wire alloy at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The static and dynamic frictions in the wet condition tended to decrease more slowly
