Silver-plated copper wire is actually a layer of silver metal plated on high purity copper wire, and its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance have been greatly improved, and are widely used in many industries.

Industry application of silver-plated copper wire

The emergence of silver-plated copper wire is widely used in the electronics industry, and can be used as temperature compensation wires, low temperature resistance wires or high temperature heating wires. In addition, it can also be used as the internal wiring of household appliances such as air conditioners, microwave ovens or rice cookers.

What are the problems of silver-plated copper wire

After silver plating, although the corrosion resistance of copper wire has been greatly improved, the chemical properties are relatively stable and not easy to oxidize, but if in the environment containing sulfide or halide, the silver surface luster is easily lost, affecting the surface beauty. In addition, in the process of silver plating of copper wire, if the operation is not standardized, it is easy to cause the thickness of the coating surface to be uneven, and the purity of the silver itself is not high, it is easier to cause the entire wire body to discolor.

In the actual production process, it is found that the thickness of the general silver plating layer will not only affect the color change speed of the copper wire, but also affect the high temperature resistance of the wire itself after copper plating. Generally, the thicker the coating, the stronger the high temperature resistance, and the ability to resist discoloration will become stronger, but it will also have an increase in production costs. It can be seen that in daily production, whether to choose silver-plated copper wire should be determined according to their own needs.
