Advantages Of Using Silver Plated Copper Wires
Posted on Jul 4, 2022
Copper is a highly significant metal that has several functional applications in both residential and industrial settings. It is readily available so it is less expensive than other metals. Furthermore, this beautiful lustrous metal is highly efficient in terms of cost and operations to be used for various purposes. Copper is extensively utilized in electrical, transport decoration and construction purposes. Copper metal and its alloy are preferred for making electrical wire, electric instruments, heating elements, and devices due to the following physical and chemical qualities of copper metal.
· Excellent conductor of electricity
· Low resistivity
· High corrosion resistivity
· Ductility
· Affordability
Ganpati Wires is one of the top-leading copper wire manufacturers in India, that offers a brilliant quality of copper wires and copper wires with silver electroplating.
Advantages of silver-plated copper wires:
Metals have free electrons which are responsible for their several physical and chemical properties. These free electrons enable metals to conduct electricity and to react with other elements present in the atmosphere. Several metals get oxidized when coming in contact with air, soil, salt, water and acid, eventually they form a layer of rust or corrosion that slowly disintegrates or eats away these metal surfaces.
1. Protection from corrosion
Although copper has low resistivity towards the air, water and other material still it oxidizes and corrodes. Plating of other metals over the surface of copper protects it from corrosion. Silver is the best metal for the electroplating of copper. It protects the copper surface to come in contact with the atmospheric factors that can corrode and disintegrate it.
2. Enhancing the life of the metal
Silver tinsel copper wires have a longer life than bare copper wires. Silver electroplating does not let copper to get exposed to air, water, salt and acids. Silver electroplating consequently enhances the life of copper wires in terms of better functioning.
3. Increases conductivity
Silver is a metal with good electrical conductivity, so the electroplating of silver over the surface of copper wires will not affect the conductivity of copper rather than increase the conductivity, allowing a better electricity transmission.
4. Increases ductility
The addition of a silver layer on copper wires increases the ductility of the copper wires. A metal with high ductility can bear the massive load of electric current. Thus, silver-plated copper is a better alternative to bare copper wires and electrical connectors.
5. Enhancing heat resistivity
Silver being a more beautiful and lustrous metal enhances the appeal of the copper wires. Furthermore, it has high resistivity toward heat, it protects the copper element or wire from overheating and avoids the electric fire.
Silver-plated copper wires are more efficient, durable and ductile than bare copper wires. For the highest quality of silver-plated and bare tin copper wires, electrical elements of copper alloys approach Ganpati Wires, the trusted manufacturer and supplier of silver-coated copper wires.
