Amalgam
Setting reaction
- Low Copper/Traditional Amalgam
- AgSn+Hg= AgSn+AgHg+SnHg
- AgSn= y= unreacted alloy
- AgHg=y1
- SnHg=y2 unstable phase
- AgSn+Hg= AgSn+AgHg+SnHg
- High copper Amalgam
- Initial Reaction
- AgSn+Hg=AgSn+SnHg
- Secondary Reaction
- SnHg+Ag-Cu=CuSn+AgHg
- y2+Ag-Cu=CuSn+AgHg
- SnHg+Ag-Cu=CuSn+AgHg
- Secondary Reaction
- AgSn+Hg=AgSn+SnHg
- Advantages
- Less corrosive
- Higher compressive strenghth
- Reduction in Creep
- Sets to full strength quicker
- Initial Reaction
- Low Copper/Traditional Amalgam
