    Hello, Does anyone know if it is typical for the Si to precipitate out of the Au in preforms that are 98% Au and 2% Si?

    The Au-Si phase diagram would certainly lead us to believe that!

    Thanks for your reply David.  I have Au and Si preform for eutectic die attach and we are having issues with scrub/wetting.  So I wanted to see if the Si % was really 2% so I was surprised to see it precipitated out, I just thought the alloy would have a consistent appearance.  Thanks again.
