Unlock the science behind gold-mercury amalgams with detailed, experiment-based findings. This scholarly work presents how gold dissolves in mercury, the formation of distinct compounds, and the phase relationships that shape their behavior. Based on careful cooling curves, analyses, and a custom heating setup, it reveals how small changes in composition produce different solid and liquid phases, including several named compounds and eutectics.
This edition provides a concrete look at the methods and results from early 20th‑century metallography. It explains how solubility limits are measured, how compounds are identified, and how cooling curves illuminate phase transitions. The narrative centers on a practical approach to understanding alloy behavior, using a combination of analytical techniques and a purpose-built experimental apparatus.
• How solubility is determined and what it means for gold in mercury
• The identification of distinct gold-mercury compounds and their melting points
• How cooling curves and freezing/melting points reveal phase relationships
• The role of eutectics and hidden maxima in alloy diagrams
Ideal for readers of metal chemistry history and early materials science, who want a clear sense of laboratory methods and the evolution of phase diagrams.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's investigation into the structure of gold amalgams through an analysis of data gathered from cooling curves and other experiments. Within the broader historical context of gold amalgam study, the author has sought to further understanding of the solubility of gold in mercury and the formation of compounds between the two elements. The research presented examines the qualitative and quantitative aspects of gold amalgams, uncovering insights into their composition and behavior. The author's findings contribute to the ongoing exploration of these materials and their potential applications.
