The amalgamation reaction of a low silver, high copper alloy powder has been
investigated by plating tablets of compacted powder with Hg. Both y, Ag-Hg and η
Cu-Sn crystals form on the tablets. In spite of large differences in composition,
these tablets amalgamated similarly to the T tablets studied and reported in Part
I.
