The silver plating process steps are relatively straightforward, although they differ depending on what type you're doing — barrel or rack plating. The basic strategy, however, goes like this:
Inspection: Before electroplating, you should always check the part for imperfections — like cold shuts or sharp edges — and amend these issues before starting the process. Otherwise, the quality of the substrate will decrease, and this may cause problems for your customers.
Pre-treatment: Complete any necessary treatments before plating onto your metal part. You should also do an under-plating of copper, nickel or both metals. Additionally, you can add a silver strike or an anti-tarnish coating if there's a particular effect you want to achieve. If you plate a layer of nickel or copper with a 0.0005-inch thickness, the silver should also be 0.0005 inches for a total of 0.0010 inches.
Electroplating: Silver plating involves submerging the substrate into a bath of silver ions. After passing an electric current through the solution, the ions deposit onto the part's surface, coating it in your chosen metal — in this case, silver.
