Silver Plating

Silver is white colored and often thought of as a precious metal. However, it cannot be considered precious because it oxidizes. Silver is the greatest metal for conducting electricity which makes it sought after in the electronics and semiconductor industries. The metal is also very malleable, a good conductor of heat, and provides excellent solderability.  Silver has excellent lubricity which makes it useful for bearing surfaces and anti-galling applications. These factors make silver an economical choice for electrical contacts considering its relatively low price compared to precious metals such as gold and platinum. Silver is also extensively used for its decorative properties in the jewelry and flatware industries.
