thank you I will amend my diction to the local norm.
but not to labor the point.if you read the story at the time there was the alloy that was created the tungsten ring that had been left and considerable amount of flux in the crucible at the time.
This being multiple entities combined into one form I thought that it would be acceptable to use the abbreviated word for amalgamated to describe it.I am aware that in dentistry the term amalgam implies exclusively to a mercury alloy but in business and the military it can be used to describe the coming to gether of different components.and in engineering we would never use such a loos term with out specifically calling it a mercury amalgamation.
So very sorry for the guff please forgive me.
