| Abstract: | abstract – By measuring lattice constants of a number of Ag-Hg-Zn alloys with γ-phase structure, it has been shown that apart from a possible two-phase field there exists a continuous solid solùtion between γ(Ag-Hg) and γ(Ag-Zn). A correlation between the Zn-content in the γ1 phase in set dental silver amalgam and the Zn-content in the corresponding alloy has been determined. |
