Silver alloy

The uses and applications of silver alloys are important and various. In fact, the high thermal and electrical conductivities, associated with the high reflectivity and ductility of silver and silver alloys, encourage their use despite their high cost. [Pg.398]

Jewelry and silverware. Because of its high reflectivity, sterling silver (i.e., a silver-copper alloy) is extensively used for jewelry, silverware, and tableware where appearance is paramount. Sometimes, a protective rhodium coating is electrodeposited onto thin nickel-plated silver objects to avoid tarnishing. Sterling-silver alloy contains roughly 92.5 wt.% Ag, the remainder being copper or some other metals. [Pg.398]

Photography. Silver is of the utmost importance in photography, about 30% of the industrial consumption going into this application. Actually, the use of silver in photography is due to the ability of silver-halide crystals (i.e., especially silver bromide) to be photosensitive and undergo a secondary image amplification called development. [Pg.398]

Dentistry. Silver is also used in dentistry either as Ag-Sn-Hg or Ag-Sn-Cu-Hg silver alloys owing to their small expansion during setting, which is suitable for making dental amalgams. [Pg.398]

Brazing filler metals. Owing to its low melting point and its good wettability of several base metals, silver is a major component for making solder and brazing alloys. [Pg.398]
