During the silver-plating process, silver layers (solid silver) are galvanically precipitated from electrolytes.
Silver plating
The precipitated layer has a glossy white colour. Silver has the highest reflectivity of all metals (80% to 90%). As silver oxide is also conductive, silver has high electrical conductivity and heat conductivity. Components can be finished on the rack as well as in the drum.
Potential passivations: 80% of our clients request anti-tarnish passivation. This is achieved via a post-dip solution.
