Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
White solder alloys for dental and jewellery components with operating temperating temperature of approximately 1000°C
contain 38 to 70% by weight of gold, 6 to 20% by weight of palladium, 8 to 40% by weight of silver, 1 to 6% by weight of iron and/or cobalt, o to 10% by weight of copper, 0 to 5% by weight of each of indium, zinc and tin, and 0 to 4% by weight of each of gallium and germanium, ruthenium and/or rhenium. The sum of the contents of tin, zinc, indium, gallium and germanium lies between 1 and 5% by weight, of the total.

Description

$

The present invention relates to a solder alloy for dental and ~ewellery components an the basis of gold-palladlum-silver with additional base metal components.

The measures taken to reduce the costs of public health care in the Federal Republic of Germany in the past few years have resulted in an increased application of gold-reduced palladium-based alloys in dentistry. Unlike many alloys having high gold contents, such gold-reduced and palladium-based alloys have a white colour. The colour of the solders used ln dentistry heretoforP frequently is not optionally adapted to these new alloys since they usually have a yellow or yellowish colour.

Nickel is frequently use as a brightening agent.
However, it is known that nickel can cause allergies in human beings. Therefore, if possible, the use of nickel in dentistry should be avoided. This also applies to other toxic elements, as for example, cadmium, which is often added to solders in order to reduce the melting range. For example, a corresponding solder is described in the German Patent 732318.

Dental solder alloys must satisfy a number o requirements. They must be mouth-resistant and must have good wetting and flow characteristics; in colour and in their operating temperature they must be adapted to the alloys to be soldered. The soldered ~oint must have a high degree of strength.

For dental components that are to be provided with a ceramic coating, the soldered joint must have adequate strengths at baking temperatures of 950 to 980C in order to avoid changes in dimension of soldered parts. Since the production of metallic prostheses is carried out in several steps, it is expedient to have available a so-called second solder in addition to the first solder, the operating ternperature of the second solder being ~2~2~

lower to such an extent that subsequent soldering can be carried out without having to loosen the first solder.

In the region of the model cast with hase metal alloys (for example, cadmium-chromium alloys) nickel~containing solders are frequently used. When ~oining base metal parts and noble metal parts the base metal is first treated with a nickel-containing solder and then soldered wlth a lower-melting solder.
Since the base-metal alloys have a white colour, a white solder alloy is also favourable in this case. An operating temperature higher than 1000C is also required in this case when the base metal dental prosthesis is to be faced ceramically.

In order to reduce the melting range as compared with the dental alloys having fundamentally similar composition low-melting elements, such as zinc, tin, indium, gallium or germanium, are alloyed with the solder alloys. Two corresponding gold-based alloy types are described in the German Patent 2638837 and in the US Patent 3892564. The two solder types have operating temperatures ranging from 590C to maximally 850 C.
Therefore, they are not suitable for parts that are sub~ected to baking of ceramics.

In the jewellery industry alloys there also is a demand for solders which, in their colour, correspond as exactly as possible to the parts to be alloyed and yield high strength values of the soldered joints.

Since in the ~ewellery sec$or toxic and allergy-causing elements are avoided if possible, its is favourable when the solder contains no corresponding alloying constituents.
Partlcularly in the case of nickel-free white gold, it is of advantage when a white nickel-free solder also is available.

Therefore, it is an ob~ect of the present invention to provide a solder alloy for dental and jew~llery components that ~28~12~

is based on gold-palladium-silver with additiona] base metal components, i.e., a solder alloy which, in its colour, comes close to both the white gold-palladium alloys and the gold-based alloys in dentistry, which is free from health-hazardous components and whose resistance to high temperatures allows soldering prior to the baking of ceramics. Furthermore, it should be applicable to base metal dental alloys and to ~ewellery components.

According to the present invention the solder alloy contains 38 to 70% by weight of gold, 6 to 20% by weight of palladium, 6 to 40% by weight of silver, 1 to 6% by weight of iron, and/or cobalt, 0 to 10% by weight of copper, 0 to 5% by weight of tin, 0 to 5% by weight of zinc, 0 to 5% by weight of indium, 0 to 4% by weight of galladium, 0 to 4% by weight of germanium, 0 to 1~ by weight of tungsten and 0 to 1% by weight of iridium, ruthernium and/or rhenium, the sum of the contents of tin, zinc, indium, gallium and germanium being at least 1% by weight and not more than 5% by weight of the total composition.

Alloys containing 50 to 70% by weight of gold, 8 to 20%
by weight of palladium, 14 to 20~ by weight of palladium, 14 to 20% by weight of silver, 1 to 6% by weight of iron and/or cobalt, 1 to 10% by weight of copper, 0 to 5% by weight of tin, 0 to 5%
by weight of zinc, 0 to 5% by weight o* indium, 0 to 4% by weight of gallium, 0 to 4% by weight o~ germanium, 0 to 1% by weight of tungst~n and 0 to 1% by weight of lridium, ruthenium and for rhenium are preferably used. The sum of the content5 of tin, zinc, indium, gallium and germanium must be between 1 and 5% by weight.

For dental and jewellery components having an almost pure white colour tone a solder alloy containing 55 to 70% by weight of gold and 12 to 16% by weight of palladium in addition to the other constituents should be used.

3 ~ ~ ~

The addition oE l to 6% by weight of iron and/or cobalt to gold-silver alloys surprisingly results in an increase of the tensile strength of the alloys at room -temperature and at 900C.
At room temperature tensile strength values of up to 500 MPa are attained. Because of their intensely decolorizing action, iron and cobalt additionally have a favourable effect on the white colour of the alloy. For this reason it is possible to keep the proportion of the brightening agent palladium relatively low since the increase of the palladium content results in an undesirable increase in the operating temperature. Therefore, for white burn-on alloys and white base metal alloys solder alloys containing 55 to 70% by weight of gold and 12 to 16% by weight of palladium are particularly suitable since, in their colour tone, they are very simllar to the white alloys.

The elements zinc, tin, indium, galllum and germanium are useful for reducing the meltlng range and for improving the fluidity. However, their total proportion is restricted to approximately 5~ in the sum since a larger proportion r~sults in an embrittlement of the material, whereby the production of the solder in the custornary form as tape or bar material is rendered very difficult.

The operating temperature can be adjusted within wide limits by the variation of the copper content without substantially impairing the ductility. The white colour of the solder is practically not influenced if the increase of the copper content ls compensated by a reduction of the gold content.

The addition of up to 1% by weight of tungsten results in improved flow and we-tting characteristics and thus in more reliable soldered joints. Iridium, ruthenium and rhenium can be added in order to improve the fineness o~ grain.
