Bego Wirobond® C

Bego Wirobond® C

Elemental composition: Cobalt 63.3% Chromium 24.8% Molybdenum 5.1% Si 1.0% Ce 0.5%

Wirobond® C a metal-ceramic alloy, free of nickel and beryllium, is an example of the exceptional expertise that makes us specialists in the metal-ceramic sector. Wirobond® C has been processed successfully worldwide for over 25 years and as a Type 4 alloy fulfils all the criteria of the ISO 22674 and ISO 9693-1 Standard.

The advantages for you:
• Reliable recognition of the casting point both with centrifugal casting machines and vacuum-pressure casting machines, e.g. Nautilus® or Fornax® – due to its special composition
• Easy casting and reliable further processing
• A wide range of dental restorations are covered with only one alloy, e.g. veneered crowns or removable partial dentures
• Due to the high strength of the alloy you are always on the safe side, even with problematic situations such as long-span

Size: 250g

Biocompatibility
The optimised chrome, molybdenum and tungsten content guarantees the excellent corrosion behaviour of Wirobond® C. These high purity elements produce a dense, adhering passive layer after casting that reliably protects against corrosion.
Advantages:
• No cytotoxic potential, no skin irritations or allergic sensitisation
• Guarantee of biocompatibility
• Safety for the dentist and patient (biocertificate available at www.bego.com)

Porcelain veneering
Wirobond® C can be veneered using composite or porcelain. All conventional veneering porcelains with corresponding CTE values can be used.
Advantages:
• The element cerium contained in the alloy ensures a high bond strength with the porcelain
• No expensive bonder is required for producing a reliable metal-ceramic bond
• The durable, reliable bond minimises the risk of splitting off intraorally at a later date
• High degree of aesthetics with the porcelain of your choice

Optimised for laser-welding technology
Wirobond® C is ideal for laser-welding due to the optimal, carbon-free composition. Solder and welding joints can be polished very easily and are no longer visible after polishing.
Advantages:
• When welded correctly, a strength value can be attained that reaches the inherent strength of Wirobond® C
• A reliable, durable and biocompatible joint is possible by soldering and laser-welding
