Modern dental noble metal casting alloys generally have equiaxed fine grain structures because of the incorporation of small amounts of______________?

Correct answer: C. Irridium

  • A. Chromium
  • B. Indium
  • C. Irridium
  • D. Palladium

Explanation

Small amounts of iridium act as grain refiners, producing a fine equiaxed grain structure in noble metal casting alloys. Palladium modifies properties but is not the usual grain-refining addition in this context.
