Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the effect of adding varying ratios of Nano Alumina to the glazing powder on glazing layer of restorative dental ceramic. The effect of addition is examined by applying Vickers hardness and surface roughness tests on the glazing layer. The specimens have been cut in a cubic form. The specimens were placed in the furnace for sintering up to temperature of 1450 oC. One specimen is glazed with glazing materials and the remaining three specimens are glazed with glazing materials but supported with varying ratios of Nano Alumina (10, 15 and 25 wt%) and all these specimens sintered at 850 oC. It was found that Vickers hardness is increased with increasing the ratios of Nano Alumina but the surface roughness decreased with increasing the ratios of Nano Alumina. Weibull modulus increased with Alumina additive increases for glass coating layer
