Nickel Chrome castings
Often we manufacture castings for porcelain fused to metal (PFM) prosthetics. Cobalt chrome is unsuitable for such work, so other metals are employed. The four commonly used metals are high and low-gold alloys and alloys of silver-palladium. Our PFM work is all cast in nickel chrome.
Most of our nickel chrome castings take the form of Maryland and Rochette bridge frames, but we can also supply splints and direct posts. These are cast in Nicor ® nickel chrome alloy from Schütz Labortechnik, the metal content of which is laid out in the table below.

We are happy to design cases for clients if preferred, but a downloadable design sheet is provided on this site for the convenience of those who wish to do this for themselves.
