Hard Silver Gold Replacement
ARGUNA®630 GAM fine silver electrolyte for decorative use deposits thick, bright silver layers; relative to technical applications, it has excellent electrical, bonding and soldering characteristics and a hardness range of 120 HV to 130 HV. It is ideal for high mechanical stress applications, and significantly increases mating cycles and contact durability.
A reflection density of up to 1.5 GAM, and high temperature resistance, make it an excellent final finish for LEDs; it is also a high-quality conducting material for medical device and aerospace applications.
- Other features:
- Operating temperature up to 104°F (40°C)
- High voltage compatible
- Use in continuous lines using flow or spray technologies
- Suitable for all-over or selective silver plating of strip materials
- Transparent electrolyte
Bright Silver Electrolyte
ARGUNA 621 deposits brilliant white coatings. This electrolyte is suitable for decorative and technical applications, and is preferentially used on jewelry and parts with a similar profile. Very slight hazes may occur on large, smooth surface such as sheets or hollow ware. It has a wide range of current densities, and may be operated at higher temperatures.
ARGUNA 621 is carbonate-tolerant, and has excellent throwing power. For deposition on nickel, strike silver plating is unnecessary.
