Nickel and Silver are mutually insoluble (or only with great difficulty) as has been pointed out. Following Jones' original post, I'm preparing a simple experiment to test "mechanical alloying". I will ball-mill ~2 um powders of the two metals for several hundred hours, using 3/8" tungsten

Jones, As you have discussed, the Type A Pd that appears to be LENR active is an actual alloy. In an alloy you expect an atomic level crystal lattice alteration - the lattice constants of the alloy are uniform and different than with Pd alone. However, what you describe as a "mechanical alloy"

Jones and Bob— Bob is correct rfegarding terminology for alloys. An alloy has an ionic bond between metallic nuclei as I understand. But those bonds may only occur at grain boundaries with individual grains of the “quasi-alloy” being in bulk one or the other metallic element. However the

Jones- Cryogenic processing of solid rocket propellants—oxidizer, fuel and rubber glue or matrix does make a lot of sense. Being cryogenic, its SAFE. It affords an efficient chemical reaction and release of maximum energy, being very well mixed in a stoichiometric proportion. And it does
