An innovative shear-testing method was introduced to study the effect of firing temperature, type of metal, and surface texture on the bond strength of the ceramometals. Two common ceramic/metal alloys were used: Olympia, a precious alloy, and Talladium, a base alloy. A Ceramco II Paint-O-Pake opaqu...
