Abstract
A solid, thin sheet of an amalgam is formed by first mixing together a liquid metal and one or more powdered metals to form the amalgam in liquid form. The liquid amalgam is then spread out over a surface to form a thin layer of the liquid amalgam. The temperature of the thin layer of amalgam is then reduced to below the melting temperature of the liquid metal in the amalgam to form a solid sheet of the amalgam. The solid thin sheet of amalgam can then be removed from the surface. The solid thin sheet of amalgam can be stored at the lower temperature until it is desired to use the amalgam.
