Advantages of silver plating on the surface of metal materials

Silver is a kind of precious metal, its performance is more superior and stable than the general metal materials, so many enterprises in the actual production will do silver plating on some metals, in order to meet the needs of subsequent production and application. There are many silver-plated products on the market, such as silver-plated copper wire.

What are the improvements in metal performance after silver plating

Silver itself is relatively soft, and easy to polish, with good ductility. Such as the production of silver plated copper wire, compared with pure copper wire, whether it is reflective ability or conductive properties, have been very good improvement. At the same time, the chemical properties of silver are relatively stable, and the general water and oxygen contained in the atmosphere can not allow it to produce chemical reactions, and can effectively deal with the erosion of organic acids, which is very good for improving the durability of the entire copper wire. help.

In which industries are silver plating processes often applied

In the electronic industrial production, instrumentation or silver-plated copper wire manufacturing and other industries, are often applied to the silver plating process. When used in the above industries, the thickness of the silver plating layer is not too thick, and it can be maintained at about 0.1 μm, which can show its good conductivity.

When enterprises are required to change the performance of metal materials with the help of silver plating process, in order to improve the friction resistance in subsequent applications, the thickness of the entire coating will be increased to about 5 ~ 1μm thick to meet the application requirements. In addition, silver plating can also be used for the decoration of some daily products to enhance their exquisite appearance, mainly in some works of art, musical instruments or cleaning tableware and other products are often applied.

It should be noted that the silver-plated copper wire products formed by the coating may have "ion electromigration" when applied to some non-conductors, which in turn may cause short circuits. Therefore, when the coating of electronic products is carried out by this process, attention should be paid to appropriately increasing the thickness thereof.
