1.1 ELECTROPLATING FOR CONTACT APPLICATIONS
Silver (Ag) plating has many different uses in an industrial setting. It can be used as an engineering coating owing to its superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. When used in plating, silver’s conductivity allows for extensive use in electronics and semiconductor industries. It is also used extensively in the aerospace, telecommunications, military, and automotive industries.
1.1.1.1 Physical Properties of Silver Plating
Silver plating is considered to be one of the most highly conductive plated surfaces. It is widely applied to copper conductors of any kind, including wires.
