SILVER PLATED FASTENERS

Silver-plated Fasteners are profoundly used in applications where high loads make it difficult for lubricants to remain in highly loaded parts of the contact. In these instances a low-shear strength coating such as silver can be beneficial. Such is the effectiveness of silver as a lubricant that there are a number of silver-doped pastes and greases available commercially.

Silver-plated bolts & nuts are widely available commercially from motorsport and aerospace outlets, in free-running and self-locking styles, but if these aren't available or you need something special, industrial silver plating is also widely available from surface treatment specialists. Industrial silver plating is not however the same process as the treatment you might see on cheap jewellery, as you can see from the accompanying picture. Silver also has the advantage in that it doesn't oxidise significantly at temperature, making it ideal for exhaust use.
