Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.
Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.
