What is the Conductive Differences Between Silver and Gold?

June 29, 2021admin

Metals are often seen as strong electrical conductors because they have a particular arrangement of electrons situated within their atoms. Gold and silver are considered two of the most conductive precious metals, with silver being the better of the two. Both metals are widely used when constructing electronic devices because gold has strong chemical stability,…

Use Precious Metals to Improve Corrosion Resistance

June 23, 2021admin

It is a fact of life that all metals corrode under the presence of common environmental conditions. The only exception to the rule is precious metals, such as silver and gold. The high-value of metal largely defines characteristics, but precious metals also are known for their stability. Metals are often placed on scales, where one…

Tin and Silver Plating

November 30, 2020admin

Tin plating is known as the process of depositing a thin coat of tin onto the surface of another material using an electrical current. Electroplating tin is incredibly popular because it is a cost-effective process. Tin is readily available, and it is typically much less to purchase than other metals like palladium, gold, or platinum….

Three Important Conductor Plating Industry Standards

October 31, 2020admin

Copper and copper alloys are often used to construct conductors. Copper is often electroplated in materials such as silver, nickel, and tin. For special applications, alloy and composite coatings are plated in multiple layers. Adding coatings changes and improves the performance of the conductor material. Plated wire is commonly used throughout the electrical engineering world….

Plated Wire and the Principles of Electroplating

August 4, 2020admin

The process of plating a metal on another metal is called electroplating. It is done by hydrolysis, and it is most commonly done to enhance corrosion resistance. An electrical current is used to reduce dissolved cations to develop a lean and coherent metal coating (on the electrode). When you are interested in modifying the surface…

Modern Advancements in Telecommunications and Electronics

August 29, 2019admin

The consumer electronics and telecommunications industries use a large amount of beryllium copper wire (BeCu). Without this specialized alloy, modern communication would not be as efficient or affordable. Modern communication could not exist without BeCu. For instance, the material is used when installing fiber-optic cables across the ocean, allowing for high-speed Internet connections. Think of…
