The electronics and semiconductor industries use silver plated metals since it’s the greatest metal for conducting electricity, is very malleable, and provides outstanding solderability. The excellent lubricity of silver makes it a useful metal finish for bearing surfaces and anti-galling applications. These factors make silver plating services an economical choice for electrical contacts considering its relatively low price compared to precious metals such as gold plating and platinum plating.
