Abstract
Effects of decreased alloy nobility are measured with respect to copper and silver corrosion activity. A potentiodynamic technique is developed for this analysis. It is shown that copper and silver have characteristic potentials for which individual current densities are maximal. Identification of characteristic potentials allows the definitive analysis of 11 commercial crown and bridge alloys for copper and silver corrosion. It is shown that microstructure, as well as alloy chemistry, plays a major role in determining corrosion resistance.Keywords
