Creep value of which of the following is the highest ?

Correct answer: A. Low copper amalgam alloy

  • A. Low copper amalgam alloy
  • B. Admix alloy
  • C. Single composition alloys
  • D. Creep value of all the above mentioned alloys is same

Explanation

Low-copper amalgams have the highest creep because they retain more of the weak gamma-2 tin-mercury phase. Admixed and single-composition high-copper alloys reduce or eliminate this phase and therefore show less creep.
