Preparation and post-treatment steps in Silver Plating





2000

I would like too know how exactly -if possible- to clean a piece before making a silver plating for industrial activity. I would like to know too, if after having make a silver plating, we have to do a post treatment in order to have a better treatment.

Thanks a lot
Hubert.

Hi, Mr. Hubert

How to clean the metal depends on what the metal is.

The Electroplating Engineering Handbook [on AbeBooks or eBay or Amazon affil links] has detailed instructions for pretreating most any metal.

Silver tarnishes very readily, so you need to discourage the tarnishing with a product like Technic's Tarniban; there are other post treatments available. Good luck.
