The wetting action of gallium alloy is a handicap when handling the material. Ethanol mulling after mixing was assayed in an attempt to control the wetting action of such mixtures. A mixture of gallium and Ag-Sn-Cu spherical alloy particles was mulled with a small piece of an ethanol-soaked sponge for 10 seconds following mixing by an amalgamator. The effect of this mulling on the adherence of the mixture to the capsules, physical properties and microstructures was determined. Mulling with ethanol effectively controlled the wetting action of the mixture, and reduced adherence to the capsules without affecting physical properties. A decreased reaction phase around the alloy particles was observed in the microstructure of the ethanol-mulled specimen.
镓合金的润湿性在处理该材料时是一个不利因素。混合后进行乙醇研磨，试图控制此类混合物的润湿性。在通过汞齐化器混合后，将镓与Ag-Sn-Cu球形合金颗粒的混合物与一小片用乙醇浸泡过的海绵研磨10秒。测定了这种研磨对混合物与胶囊的粘附性、物理性能和微观结构的影响。用乙醇研磨有效地控制了混合物的润湿性，并减少了对胶囊的粘附，同时不影响物理性能。在乙醇研磨试样的微观结构中观察到合金颗粒周围的反应相减少。
