Precious Metal Electrolytes
*Silver electrolytes < br/>Silver electrolytes without additives generate dull soft deposits (HV ~ 80) which are mainly used as contact layers on connectors with limited insertion and withdrawal cycles. Properties required for decorative purposes such as shiny bright surfaces and higher wear resistance are achieved through various additives to the basic Ag electrolyte.
