Silver plating in the microwave Industry

 

Silchrome have extensive experience working alongside leading Microwave and RF manufacturers to provide coatings.

When it comes to communication, silver definitely doesn’t mean 2^nd best. It’s the most popular plating in the industry. Silver Plating’s key attribute is its electrical conductivity which allows it to carry high frequencies with only a small amount of loss. This is an especially useful factor in reducing passive intermodulation. Silver is non-magnetic, a strong heat conductor and also offers corrosion and wear resistance. Our Silver plating is 100% pure as opposed to any alloy which will also increase the performance of our plating.
