Cobalt-chrome bonding alloy for high-melting ceramic compounds Cobalt-chrome bonding alloy for high-melting ceramic compounds User manual Bonding alloy ADORBOND® CC is a dental cobalt-based metal-ceramic alloy. ADORBOND® CC is free of nickel, cadmium, beryllium and lead and complies with EN ISO 22674 type 4 for applications with thin cross-sections which are vulnerable to very high pressure, e.g. removable partial dentures, clasps, thin veneered single crowns, fixed full-arch dentures or bridges with small cross-sections, webs, reinforcement and implant-supported superstructures. Processing recommendation Modeling Carry out wax-up as usual, but avoid wall thicknesses below 0.35 mm. Guide the casting channels indirectly. For the casting channels, use round wax wires with Ø 2-2.5 mm for single crowns and Ø 2.5-3 mm for bridges. For large jobs with 4 or more units, use distribution channels (cast bars) with Ø 3.5-4 mm, and up to Ø 5 mm for solid pontics. Embedding and casting Phosphate-bonded crown and bridge embedding compounds are suitable. The preheating temperature is 850-900 °C, holding time at the final temperature is min. 30 minutes. Follow the manufacture’s operating instructions for the casting machine. Always use a separate ceramic crucible for ADORBOND® CC to avoid contamination by other alloys. Clean crucible after each casting. Do not overheat the alloy. Casting can be started after all cylinders are completely melted and the melt becomes uniformly bright. Always melt with the flame in the reducing zone with circular movements above of the burner. Allow muffle to cool down to hand temperature and bed out without hitting the cone.
