Silver-plated
Definition
Having been structurally covered with a thin layer of silver through galvanic, chemical, or mechanical procedures; silver-plated. In a technological sense, a silver-plated object (such as mirrors, electrical connectors, or German silver cutlery) acquires the optical reflectivity properties, high electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance specific to the precious metal without requiring the use of a solid mass of pure silver.
