Optimizing creep and corrosion properties in a dispersant amalgam using manganese.
It is shown that the creep behavior of a commercial dispersant-amalgam containing copper is improved by the addition of a manganese-containing alloy. This improvement is apparently obtained without any serious changes in corrosion resistance, provided that no more than 20% of the Mn alloy is added.
