Abstract
The effect of small In additions on oxide structure and porcelain adherence to Au−Pd alloys was studied. In was oxidized internally as In2O3. No uniform external oxide layer could be seen. Small In addition (1 at %) did not have any detectable effect on porcelain adherence (≈12 MPa), whereas higher In concentration (5 at %) caused significant increase in bond strength (≈26 MPa). This increase was probably a result of higher In2O3 concentration at the surface.
