Electralloy is an alloy of electrolytic gold and calcium, typically with a calcium content of 0.1-0.5%. The addition of calcium creates a dispersion-hardened material that is stronger than pure gold. This property makes it suitable for use in restorations requiring increased hardness and wear resistance, such as inlays and onlays.
