Silver Electroplating

Silver plating usually used in decorative finished, silver was one of the first metals to be electroplated from certain solution. This method have been applied for long ago in industrial application in about 1840s. Because of great incentive to its development and the ability to provide an attractive appearance and hygienic handling of foodstuffs.

Application on silver electroplating use warm temperature or only slightly warm, although this limits the permissible current density to between 5 to 10 A/ft2. The solution use on this electroplating is double cyanide solution in milky white and matt, but it is very smooth and soft.

For many application of silver coating are applied to many appliance and equipment with many purposes, some to avoid from corrode reaction and some for decorative finished proposed. Silver also have very good electric current conductor, so some electric element use this material to make a conductor.
