Abstract

A quantitative microprobe analysis was conducted on three commercial amalgams to determine the nature of the phases present. The presence of tin in the Ag-Hg phase (gamma1) was confirmed and Cu-3Sn was found in the original alloy particles. In the dispersant amalgam studied, little Sn-Hg phase (gamma-2) was found and the reaction phase Cu-6Sn-5 was identified.
