title: On the solubility of zinc in the gamma-phase of the silver-mercury system.
abstract: By measuring lattice constants of a number of Ag-Hg-Zn alloys with gamma-phase structure, it has been shown that apart from a possible two-phase field there exists a continuous solid solution between gamma (Ag-Hg) and gamma (Ag-Zn). A correlation between the Zn-content in the gamma 1 phase in set dental silver amalgam and the Zn-content in the corresponding alloy has been determined.
