Silver is valued for its decorative beauty due to its white lustrous appearance. Even though silver is resistant to corrosion, it still undergoes tarnishing with the presence of sulfur, oils, and other substances. Thus, coating a layer of new silver onto the faded silver articles refurbishes them and brings back the shine. Silver plating is applied for jewelry, utensils, and even for industrial purposes. Silver plating is used to improve solderability by hardening the surface and increasing wearability. It is also used to inhibit corrosion. The plating helps in reducing friction and to improve paint adhesion. It is good for altering conductivity and provides a shield against radiation.
