Which statement is incorrect regarding high-copper silver alloy when compared to traditional silver alloy?

Show Answers

It exhibits higher tensile and compressive strengthIt demonstrates inferior resistance to tarnishing and corrosionIts marginal strength is improvedThe mercury content in the finished restoration is reduced

Explanation

High-copper silver alloys have enhanced tensile and compressive strengths, better edge strength, and lower mercury content in the final restoration. However, they do not have poor tarnish and corrosion resistance; in fact, their resistance is generally improved compared to conventional alloys. Therefore, the statement about poor tarnish and corrosion resistance is false.
