The setting reaction of Ag,Sn amalgams may be thought of as a liquid phase sintering problem in which the reactants seek to form products with the lowest thermodynamic potential. We discuss the thermodynamic and kinetic considerations of this reaction. The lowering of free energy has been given as t

Previous studies have shown preferential corrosion of the q'(Cu-Sn) phase in highcopper dental amalgam both in vifro and in vivo, while samples of pure 7' have shown high corrosion resistance. To clarify this contradiction, samples of pure q' crystals mixed with other phases were prepared and tested
The surface properties of Ag,Sn are important in the amalgamation process so that mechanical abrasion is generally necessary to get a satisfactory amalgam. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to characterize the surface of Ag3Sn after several types of surfaces treatments. Homogeneous polycr
