The chloride corrosion behavior of five silver-palladium dental casting alloys was investigated in a 1% NaCl solution through the use of electrochemical hysteresis technique. The corrosion mechanism has been interpreted in terms of the microstructure of these alloys and their possible electrochemical reactions.
