Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Alloys with up to 50% Hg have a two-phase structure consisting of a solid solution based on magnesium and Mg3Hg of eutectic origin, which precipitates in the grain boundaries.

  2. 2.

    Quenching of the alloys does not produce a single phase solid solution.

  3. 3.

    Directional solidification with a cooling rate of 15 deg/min produces dense ingots without zonal segregation.
