Abstract: An amalgamation preform is provided. The amalgamation preform includes a base metal, and a plurality of types of solid particles dispersed in the base metal, the base metal including one of a liquid base metal and a solid base metal. The plurality of types of solid particles at least includes: non-reactive magnetic particles, responsive to a magnetic field for controllably dispersing the plurality of types of solid particles in the base metal, and reactive particles, reactable with the base metal under the magnetic field.

Abstract: A method of using an amalgamation preform includes providing mating bonding surfaces and placing a particle-liquid mixture corresponding to the amalgamation preform between the mating bonding surfaces. The particle-liquid mixture contains a plurality of types of solid particles and a base metal in a liquid form, and the plurality of types of solid particles at least includes reactive particles reactable with the base metal and non-reactive magnetic particles. A first magnetic field is applied to the particle-liquid mixture to magnetically disperse the plurality of types of solid particles in the liquid base metal to form a particle-liquid dispersion; and a second magnetic field is applied to cure the particle-liquid dispersion to allow reactions between the reactive particles and the base metal.

The plurality of types of solid particles at least includes reactive particles, reactable with the base metal, and non-reactive magnetic particles. A magnetic field is applied to the particle-liquid mixture to magnetically disperse the plurality of types of solid particles in the liquid base metal to form a particle-liquid dispersion without substantially inducing a reaction between the reactive particles and the liquid base metal. A playdough-like amalgamation preform is prepared based on the particle-liquid dispersion without solidifying the liquid base metal.
