Silver Plating
How thin is silver plating?
the reason i asked, I own a six inch statue of a horse, which is very heavy for its size, is not magnetic and makes a ringing sound when hit.
I've always presumed it was silver plate but i've made a small cut under the tail, of about a millimeter in depth, and the metal remains silver.
It depends. A supplier in the UK who offers gold & silver plating for decorative (& presumably jewellery) applications says they offer services from 0.5 to 10 microns. For electroplated silver on electrical contacts, if the electrical contact is a fixed contact, 3 micron Silver is sufficient. If it is a make & break contact, it depends on the current flowing and the freq of make & break. In general practice, for low current it is 10 microns & for high current it would be 25 microns or so.
