High reflectivity • High oxidation resistance • Extremely ductile coatings • Very good conductivity • Gloss retention • Good soldering properties • Low contact resistance • Hardness level of 140-200 HV • Layer thicknesses are usually 0.1-3 µm • Used as a final layer
Decorative uses:
ewellery • Glasses • Watch cases
Technical uses:
Lifting contacts • Connectors • High-frequency technology
Electroplated surfaces
Silver / Ag
Properties:
Metallic glossy surface finish • Highest electrical and thermal conductivity • Low contact resistance • Layer thicknesses are usually 1-10 µm • Good soldering properties • Extremely ductile coatings • Used as a final layer
Decorative uses:
Cutlery • Jewellery
Technical uses:
Plug-in screw connectors • Electronic wiring • Antennas
Electroplated surfaces
Copper / Cu
Properties:
Metallic glossy/silky glossy surface finish • Ductile coatings • Good soldering properties • Layer thicknesses are usually 0.5-2 µm • Used as an intermediate layer
Decorative uses:
Only as an intermediate layer
Technical uses:
Only as an intermediate layer and improve adhesion for the next layer
Electroplated surfaces
