description Objective: To evaluate the mechanical properties and austenite phase transformation temperature of flat-designed rotary instruments manufactured with gold and blue heat treatments. Material and Methods: A total of 60 rotary instruments with a flat design 25.04 with gold (Flat File 25.04 – MK Life, Brazil) and blue (Prototype 25.04 - MK Life, Brazil) heat treatments were used for cyclic fatigue, torsional fatigue, and bending tests (n=30). The cyclic fatigue test was conducted in an artificial canal with a curvature of 60° and a radius of 5 mm (n=10). The torsion test was conducted to evaluate the torque (N.cm) and angular deflection (°) required for fracture (n=10). Finally, the 60° bending test evaluated the force (g.f) required to flexion the instruments at the 5 mm tip (n=10). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed to establish the initial (Ai) and final (Af) austenitic transformation temperatures. The data were statistically analyzed using the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test for normality and the unpaired t-test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: The cyclic fatigue test showed that Flat 25.04 gold instruments had significantly greater cyclic fatigue resistance (p<0.05). The torsion test revealed that Flat 25.04 gold instruments exhibited lower maximum torque (N.cm) and greater angular deflection (°) (P<0.05). The bending test showed that the gold instrument required less force (P<0.05). DSC analysis demonstrated that the gold heat treatment had a higher Af temperature (42.8 °C) compared to the blue treatment (32.2 °C). Conclusion: The different heat treatments impacted in phase transformation temperatures and on the mechanical properties of the instruments.
