title: [Studies on gallium alloys for dental restorations. 2. Electron probe microanalysis for hardened gallium alloys].
abstract: Hardened gallium alloys were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The cores, matrix and white irregular shape phases were visible with SEM. The round or irregular shape cores contained Ag, Pd, Cu and Zn but did not contain Ga and In. The dark irregular shape matrix, which surrounded the core, consisted of Ga-Ag, Ga-Pd, Ga-Cu and Ga-Sn phases. However, the amount of Ga-Sn phase was very low. The white phase in the matrix was Ag-In phase.
