Purpose

This specification covers the requirements for electrodeposited silver on other metals, usually with a nickel strike between the basis metal and the silver.

Application

Silver plating has been used typically to provide a bearing surface and to prevent galling or seizing of surfaces of parts made of corrosion-resistant steels and of parts made of other metals not deleteriously affected by high-temperature baking, but usage is not limited to such applications. Silver plating is the most commonly used coating for turbine engine fasteners providing an even degree of lubrication up to a maximum service temperature of about 1200 F (650 C).

Safety-Hazardous Materials

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards that may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
