Silver Plating
Services
Precision silver electroplating offering the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal, with excellent solderability and antimicrobial properties for electronics, aerospace, and medical applications.
Silver is uniquely specified for applications demanding the best in electrical performance, solderability, and antibacterial functionality.
Cyanide-based silver baths with strict chemistry control deliver consistent, bright, adherent silver deposits on a wide range of substrates.
Pre-Treatment
Ultrasonic degreasing, electrolytic cleaning, acid activation, and silver strike to prevent immersion deposits and ensure adhesion.
Silver Strike
High-current-density silver strike from a dilute cyanide bath provides the adhesion foundation before the main silver deposit.
Main Silver Deposition
Controlled cyanide silver bath at optimised temperature and current density for bright, dense, adherent silver to specification.
Anti-Tarnish Treatment
Optional chromate or organic anti-tarnish passivation to protect silver surfaces from atmospheric sulfide tarnishing in storage.
Recent silver plating projects across RF/microwave, aerospace, medical, and power electronics sectors.
