Which is true regarding lathe cut silver alloy_______________?

Correct answer: B. Achieves lowest compressive strength at 1 hr.

  • A. Requires least amount of mercury
  • B. Achieves lowest compressive strength at 1 hr.
  • C. Has tensile strength both at 15 min & 7 days comparable to high copper unicompositional alloy
  • D. Has low creep

Explanation

Traditional lathe-cut silver alloy particles require more mercury and develop strength more slowly than many spherical or high-copper alloys, giving relatively low compressive strength at one hour. They also generally have greater creep, so the low-creep option is not correct.
