Which is the only nearly pure metal used for dental casting purposes?
High-Yield Explanation
CP titanium, which is classified in four different grades, can technically be considered as an alloy because small percentages of other impurity elements are allowed as specified by a standard that has been established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for each grade. Although it is classified as commercially pure, grade 2 CP-Ti may contain up to 0.10% C, 0.30% Fe, 0.015% H, 0.03% N, 0.25% O, and 0.40% of other elements.
