Soldering is similar to welding but on a very smaller scale. It uses a filler metal that is melted and placed between the target metals. The target metals are fused due to the high heat and the action of the filler metal. Soldering is one of the oldest metal fabrication processes, with ...
Dental bridges are a great option for many people. If you are missing one or two teeth right next to each other then a dental bridge may be a good option for you. With the advent of implants the number of bridges being done is significantly less than previous years. However, there are...
Biomaterials are ground for medical applications, requiring high precision and biocompatibility. Bone: Used in certain medical implants and grafts. Dental Materials: Such as ceramics and composites used in restorations. Semiconductor Materials Critical in the electronics industry, these materials require ultr...
Silicone is generally nonreactive, and silicone polymers are biocompatible, so they're used in things that stay in prolonged contact with the body, such as prosthetics and some implants. Silicon is also used in liquid solutions of calcium or sodium silicate, the latter of which is an ...
