Which of the following statement is true regarding lathe cut low Copper silver alloy ?

Correct answer: C. Has tensile strength both at 15 minutes and 7 days is comparable to high copper, unicompositional alloys

  • A. Requires least amount of mercury
  • B. Achieves high compressive strength at 1 hr.
  • C. Has tensile strength both at 15 minutes and 7 days is comparable to high copper, unicompositional alloys
  • D. Has lower cree value

Explanation

Lathe-cut low-copper alloys generally require more mercury and develop lower early compressive strength than high-copper alloys, but their tensile strength at 15 minutes and 7 days can be comparable to high-copper unicompositional alloys. The other choices describe high-copper or spherical-alloy advantages rather than this alloy.
