Cobalt-chromium alloys in fixed prosthodontics: Investigations of mechanical properties and microstructure -

The results from the present study demonstrated higher mechanical properties for the laser-melted and presintered milled Co-Cr, followed by the cast and milled Co-Cr specimens. In general, the Ti6Al4V demonstrated higher mechanical properties compared with CpTi4. The high mechanical properties of the laser melted Co-Cr specimens compared with the other Co-Cr specimens were consistent with those of other studies.
