— The creep of dental amalgam was measured as a function of heat treatment of the amalgam. The treatment significantly reduced the creep rate. The β 1 (Ag‐Hg) phase was detected in the heat‐treated amalgam by X‐ray diffraction and metallographic methods, and it appeared that the reduction in creep rate was due to the γ 1 →β 1 transformation.
