DENTICAST, a new centrifugal casting machine: analysis of performance

INTRODUCTION: The objective is to study the mechanical and physical properties of dental casted alloys with a new prototype of universal casting machine DENTICAST. This prototype, combining induction melting, injection by high rate centrifugation in a secondary vacuum allows casting all dental alloys such as NiCr, CoCr, Titanium and TA6V. The samples casted with DENTICAST are compared to samples obtained with various casting systems on the market (centrifugation, pressure/vacuum).
