Abstrakt: The influence of surface finishing procedures on the corrodibility of high-copper amalgams was measured. Anodic polarization curves were determined in Ringer's solution for amalgam samples made from a dispersion and a ternary alloy. Three types of finishes were compared: as carved, burnished, and polished. The polarization curves of the burnished and polished specimens were statistically similar (P > 0.05) at all potentials investigated. The carved samples exhibited higher corrosion currents at most of the potentials investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
