 Silver can be easily plated on other metals because of its higher electrical conductivity. Bead of inferior quality metal plated with silver provide with features like solderable surfaces, wear resistance of load-bearing surfaces, and good corrosion resistance. Silver coating the bead made of cheaper metals, is an excellent idea of reducing cost and raising durability of the beads. Usually steel, zinc, and zinc based alloys are used for this purpose. Silver plated beads are widely used in various ornaments, utensils, and decorative. |
