Silver-plating
Definition
The act of coating the surface of a metallic object (or other conducting/treated material) with a thin, protective layer of silver using galvanic, chemical, or evaporation methods; the technological process itself. In a structural and industrial sense, this procedure enhances the electrical conductivity of electronic components, provides anti-corrosive protection, and grants aesthetic and reflective value to decorative items, mirrors, or cutlery.
