Calculation of Interfacial Stress in Dental Porcelain Bonded to Gold Alloy Substrate

Abstract
Thermal shear stresses that arise from a mismatch of expansion coefficients (Δα) between porcelain and gold alloy can exceed the 13,000 psi shear resistance of the bond. Therefore, calculations of the Aa tolerance were made. A Aa of 0.125 X 10-6 inch/inch/degrees F is safe.
