Question
Answer
Degree of saturation of a particular hue   chroma  
🗑
Change in length per unit of original length of a material when its temperature is raised 1° K   Coefficient of thermal expansion (linear coefficient of expansion)  
🗑
Sensation induced from light of varying wavelengths reaching the eye   Color  
🗑
Chemical or electrochemical process in which a solid, usually a metal, is attacked by an environmental agent, resulting in partial or complete dissolution   Corrosion  
🗑
Time-dependent plastic strain of a material under a static load or constant stress   Creep  
🗑
Accelerated attack occurring on a less noble metal when electrochemically dissimilar metals are in electrical contact within a liquid corrosive environment   Galvanic corrosion (electrogalvanism)  
🗑
Pain sensation caused by the electric current generated when two dissimilar metals are brought into contact in the oral environment   Galvanic Shock  
🗑
Resistance of a material to being indented, cut, or scratched   Hardness  
🗑
Dominant color of an object, for example, red, green, or blue   Hue  
🗑
Phenomenon in which the color of an object under one type of light appears to change when illuminated by a different light source   Metamerism  
🗑
Study of the deformation and flow characteristics of matter   Rheology  
🗑
Irreversible (plastic) deformation of metal frameworks of fixed partial dentures in the firing temperature range of ceramic veneers   Sag  
🗑
Process by which a metal surface is dulled or discolored when a reaction with a sulfide, oxide, chloride, or other chemical causes a thin film to form   Tarnish  
🗑
Property that describes the thermal energy transport in watts per second through a specimen 1 cm thick with a cross-sectional area of 1 cm2 when the temperature differential between the surfaces of the specimen perpendicular to the heat flow is 1° K   Thermal conductivity (coefficient of thermal conductivity)  
🗑
Property of certain gels or other materials to become liquefied (less viscous) when shaken, stirred, patted, or vibrated   Thixotropic  
🗑
Relative lightness or darkness of a color   Value  
🗑
Resistance of a fluid to flow   Viscosity  
🗑
Loss of material from a surface caused by a mechanical action or through a combination of chemical and mechanical actions   Wear, abrasion, and erosion  
🗑
