Reduction in the fusion temperature of dental gold casting alloys is caused by presence of______________?
Correct answer: D. Copper
- A. Platinum
- B. Gold
- C. Silver
- D. Copper
Explanation
Copper forms lower-melting phases with gold, thereby reducing the alloy’s fusion temperature while also increasing hardness. Platinum generally raises the melting range, making it the opposite choice here.
