Compared to pure copper wire, silver plated copper wire has significantly improved its conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. By performing secondary silver plating on high-quality oxygen free copper, improved silver plated copper wire can be obtained. It has a wide range of applications in fields such as electronics, aerospace, and military. The only downside is that if not handled properly, the silver plated copper wire is more likely to lose its luster in a very short period of time.

How to better maintain the glossiness of silver plated copper wire

1. Increasing the thickness of the silver plating layer and the density of the plating area can effectively delay the discoloration of the entire plating area. Although the thickness of the coating and the production cost have increased, the overall defect rate of the product has also been well controlled. In comparison, it has actually saved the entire production cost better.

2. If conditions permit, the pre made silver plated copper wire can be stored in a constant temperature, relatively dry, and dark environment, which can better reduce the time for light and moisture in the air to affect the copper wire and delay the color change of the copper wire.

3. During the process of silver plating copper wire, it is important to wear gloves. And producers should regularly inspect the smoothness of the molds used in production to avoid scratches on the coating area as much as possible.

For pre made silver plated copper wire, in addition to delaying its discoloration speed through the above methods, soft and environmentally friendly halogen-free materials can also be used to package semi-finished silver plated copper wire to effectively isolate the air and slow down the discoloration speed of the silver plating layer.
