APPLICATIONS OF THE SILVER PLATING PROCESS
Silver plating service in dubai
The most obvious application of silver plating is the bright and shiny look it gives to the substrate, which makes it popular for aesthetic purposes. However, aside from purely cosmetic effects, silver plated components have a wealth of applications across numerous industries.
Silver is naturally resistant to numerous chemical substances and is the single most conductive material commonly used in electroplating.
This makes it an attractive proposition for many industries including automotive (particularly as part of exhaust systems), rail, power generation, industrial, and domestic.
BENEFITS OF SILVER PLATING IN DUBAI:
Silver plating technology imparts several excellent properties to base metals. It is highly resistant to a number of common chemicals and is remarkably heat resistant. Even at high temperatures, good quality silver plating does not oxidize or degrade, which makes it an ideal material for high-temperature environments, such as the automotive industry. Likewise, its remarkable anti-galling and anti-fretting properties (thanks largely to the great lubricity and low friction it exhibits) are not affected by high temperatures either.
It is also worth noting that silver, like gold, is one of the best metals for conducting electricity, making it an efficient solution for many electronic companies. Silver plating copper items are always preferred for protection and to retain conductivity.
SILVER ELECTROPLATING PROCESS EXPLAINED:
The steps for silver plating process are quite straightforward, although they differ depending on what type you’re doing — barrel or rack plating. The basic strategy, however, goes as follows:
- Inspection: Before electroplating, you should always check the part for imperfections — like cold shuts or sharp edges — and amend these issues before starting the process. Otherwise, the quality of the substrate will decrease, and this may cause problems for your customers.
- Pre-treatment: Complete any necessary treatments before plating onto your metal part. You should also do an under-plating of copper, nickel or both metals. Additionally, you can add a silver strike or an anti-tarnish coating if there’s a particular effect you want to achieve. If you plate a layer of nickel or copper with a 0.0005-inch thickness, the silver should also be 0.0005 inches for a total of 0.0010 inches.
- Electroplating: Silver plating in UAE process involves submerging the substrate into a bath of silver ions. After passing an electric current through the solution, the ions deposit onto the part’s surface, coating it in your chosen metal — in this case, silver
