Galvanic silver plating: finishing your products with silver (Ag)

If the aim is to finish metals through galvanic silver plating, the Rudolf Clauss GmbH & Co. KG is your experienced expert. Galvanic silver plating is one of the most important galvanic processes: by way of electrolysis, the surface of a metallic object is finished with silver coating.

 

Silver plating of metals is recommended especially for copper, steel, brass or aluminum. Whether your goal is to improve the electrical conductivity of components or the minimization of friction sparks when switching under load – silver plating is the compatible galvanic process.

 

Silver is also known for its excellent reflection properties and is thus particularly suitable for surface finishing of, for example, mirrors and reflectors.

 

Depending on the purpose of use of the products to be finished, galvanic silver plating may also result in the production of a solderable surface. Not only does the surface finishing by way of galvanic processes at Rudolf Clauss GmbH & Co. KG meet esthetic expectations, they also offer a series of other advantages.

 

We guarantee premium qualified quality that meets certified standards in metal finishing.
