Electroetching of Dental Amalgam

Abstract
Application of the potentiostatic polarization technique to the metallographic etching of set dental amalgam is described. Etching studies of amalgam prepared from a lathe-cut, a spherical, and a silver-copper dispersed-phase amalgam alloy are reported. The γ2 phase in set dental amalgam can be characterized by this electrochemical technique.
