1 Scope This Technical Specification gives details of test procedures for evaluating the corrosion resistance of dental amalgam produced from a dental amalgam alloy product. It is applicable to dental amalgam formed from products that are within the scope of ISO 24234, Dentistry — Dental amalgam. It is not applicable to dental metallic materials that are within the scope of ISO 22674, Dentistry — Metallic materials for fixed and removable restorations and appliances. This Technical Specification is not applicable to metallic materials in which an alloy powder reacts with a liquid alloy to produce a solid metallic material intended for dental restoration.
