ISO 10271:2011(E) iv © ISO 2011 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10271 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 2, Prosthodontic materials. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10271:2001), which has been technically revised, in particular by the inclusion of two additional test methods. It also incorporates Technical Corrigendum ISO 10271:2001/Cor.1:2005. SIST EN ISO 10271:2011



ISO 10271:2011(E) © ISO 2011 – All rights reserved v Introduction This International Standard was developed from the original Technical Report (ISO/TR 10271) as a result of worldwide demand for standard test methods to determine acceptability of metallic materials for oral restorations in relation to corrosion. Specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom from biological hazard are not included in this International Standard, but it is recommended that reference be made to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405 for assessing possible biological or toxicological hazards. The testing of the corrosion behavior of metallic materials in dentistry is complicated by the diversity of the materials themselves, their applications and the environment to which they are exposed. Variation occurs between devices and within the same device during the exposure time. The type of corrosion behavior or effect can also vary with exposure time. Accordingly, it is not possible to specify a single test capable of covering all situations, nor is it a practical proposition to define a test for each situation. This International Standard, therefore, gives detailed procedures for test methods that have been found to be of merit as evidenced by considerable use. This second edition differs from the first edition by the addition of two new test methods. To supplement the existing static immersion test, a static immersion test with periodic analysis has been added. A major reason for the addition of this test is that the rate of corrosion of most dental metallic materials varies over time. Thus, the aim of this supplementary test is to provide information on this variation in the corrosion of a dental metallic material. A classification scheme to interpret the rate of corrosion of a tested material with time (i.e. steady, decreasing, increasing) was not included as part of the static immersion test with periodic analysis. It is intended to monitor the use of the test through appropriate working groups of ISO/TC 106 to ascertain whether a classification scheme is needed in a future revision of this International Standard. To supplement the sulfide tarnish test (cyclic immersion), a sulfide tarnish test (static immersion) has also been added to this second edition of ISO 10271. This test has been used successfully for many years to evaluate the corrosion of silver alloys. In addition, an informative annex (Annex A) is provided that sets out a procedure for each element of the test system such that a consistent approach can be taken for the development of further test methods. Equally, it is recognized that any element can represent only the current recommendation, but changes in the future are unlikely to change the framework. It is not the purpose of this International Standard to propose corrosion test methods for specific applications or to set limits as precise as those in the standard relating to the type of product and its application.

Remove at least 0,1 mm, measured using a measuring instrument [e.g. micrometer gauge (4.2.4.11)], from each free surface using standard metallographic procedures unless specimens are being tested in the as-received condition. Use fresh abrasive paper for each metallic material. Finish with P1200 wet silicon carbide paper (4.2.4.9) and end with 1 µm diamond paste (4.2.4.10). If the described procedure is not applicable, treat the surfaces according to the manufacturer's instructions for clinical use. Examine with a light microscope at ¥50 (4.2.4.12) for cracks or crevices at the specimen/resin interface. Replace the specimen if any cracks or crevices are found. Determine the area exposed to solution of each specimen to within 0,01 cm2. Manually clean surface with acetone (4.2.3.7). Clean surfaces ultrasonically in the following sequence: alcohol (4.2.3.6) and water (4.2.3.4) for 2 min each. Store in water (4.2.3.4) until transferred to test cell. 4.2.7 Test procedure 4.2.7.1 Test set-up An example of an electrochemical measuring circuit is shown in Figure 1. An example of an electrolytic cell is shown in Figure 2. Fill test cell with electrolyte. Test at room temperature (23 ± 2) °C. If there is a phase transition between room temperature and 37 °C, then a test temperature of (37 ± 1) °C shall be used. Place counter electrode(s) in the test cell followed by the reference electrode. Then place the working electrode in the test cell without immersion. Activate the magnetic stirrer. Bubble oxygen-free nitrogen or argon at a rate of about 100 cm3/min through the electrolyte for at least 30 min. Immerse the working electrode in the electrolyte. Adjust the reference electrode. Adjust gas flow-rate to give a slight bubbling. Begin measurement procedure.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10271 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee
SC 2, Prosthodontic materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition ISO 10271:2001 which has been technically revised, in
particular by the inclusion of two additional test methods.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

ISO/CD 10271
Introduction
ISO 10271 was developed from the original Technical Report (ISO/TR 10271) as a result of worldwide demand for
standard test methods to determine acceptability of metallic materials for oral restorations in relation to corrosion.
Specific qualitative and quantitative requirements for freedom from biological hazard are not included in this
international Standard, but it is recommended that in assessing possible biological or toxicological hazards,
reference should be made to ISO 10993-1 and ISO 7405.
The testing of the corrosion behaviour of metallic materials in dentistry is complicated by the diversity of the
materials themselves, their applications and the environment to which they are exposed. Variation occurs between
devices and within the same device during the exposure time. The type of corrosion behaviour or effect may also
vary with exposure time. Accordingly, it is not possible to specify a single test capable of covering all situations, nor
is it a practical proposition to define a test for each situation. This International Standard therefore gives detailed
protocols for test methods which have been found to be of merit as evidenced by considerable use.
This second edition differs from the first edition by the addition of two new test methods. A time-dependence
corrosion test has been added to supplement the existing static immersion test. A major reason for this test is that
the corrosion rate of most dental alloys is not constant over time. Thus, the aim of the time-dependence corrosion
test is to provide information on the corrosion rate of a dental alloy with time. An evaluation section to interpret the
long term corrosion behaviour of the tested alloys (i.e., steady, decreasing, increasing) was not included as part of
the time-dependence corrosion test. Instead, the data will be reported in a graph without attempting to interpret the
shape of the resulting curve. It is intended that ISO/TC 106/SC 2/WG 12 monitor the use of the time-dependence
corrosion test through the appropriate working groups in ISO/TC 106 and make any necessary changes to the
document in a future revision. To supplement the sulphide tarnish test (cyclic immersion), a sulfide tarnish test
(static immersion) has also been added to this second edition of ISO 10271. This test has been successfully used
for many years to evaluate the corrosion of silver alloys.
In addition, an informative annex (annex A) is provided that sets out a protocol for each element of the test system
such that a consistent approach may be taken for the development of further test methods. Equally, it is recognized
that any element can only represent the current recommendation, but changes in the future are unlikely to change
the framework
It is not the purpose of this International Standard to propose corrosion test methods for specific applications or to
set limits as precise as those in the standard relating to the type of product and its application.

125 m pure alumina to remove investment.
If recommended, heat-treat casting alloys following the manufacturer’s instructions. Heat-treat all metal-ceramic
alloys for 10 min in air at the highest temperature recommended by the alloy manufacturer and bench cool.
Specimens shall be prepared with one flat surface exposed. A suitable contact shall be provided for connection to
the electrochemical apparatus.
The working electrode shall be prepared in a way that ensures the absence of crevices. The recommended
procedure is that of embedding in epoxy resin, which does not exhibit loss of electrical insulation during immersion.
Instead of embedding, a specimen holder (4.2.4.5) may be used if the absence of crevices is confirmed by
specimen examination after the test.
Remove at least 0,1 mm, measured using a measuring instrument [e.g. micrometer gauge (4.2.4.11)], from each
free surface using standard metallographic proc
