[QUOTE="sixonice, post: 28626, member: 2"] your going to be fine with either alloy with using them with InLine ceramic. both the CTE's match up with the given specifications that InLine porcelain asks for. the Colado chrome-cobalt will melt a bit faster for youj as it has a lower melting temperature. both the alloys have almost identical density - so be sure to give 4 full winds on your casting arm. the Colado CC will oxidize with a slight olive/grey color, versus the 4all will exhibit a medium gray color. I have also used the Pieces Plus (nickel based) alloy with inline and got great results. that is another suggestion for you. you may want to just order an ounce of each and run your own tests in the lab to see which works best in your hands. im sure you agree that all non-precious alloys are tougher to work with, but perhaps in your market you have no choice to use them. also nickel sensitivity is not something that is very common. i actually have never heard of a patient with nickel sensitivity, so do not let that be your final determination on what to use. i would try the pieces plus from ivoclar.
