Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a silver-plated product wherein a surface layer of silver is formed on the surface of a base material or on the surface of an underlying layer formed on the base material, the surface layer of silver is formed by electroplating in a silver plating bath which contains 1 to 15 mg/L of selenium and wherein a mass ratio of silver to free cyanogen is in the range of from 0.9 to 1.8, and thereafter, an aging treatment is carried out to produce a silver-plated product wherein an area fraction in {200} orientation of the surface layer is 15% or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A silver-plated product comprising: a base material; and a surface layer consisting of silver which is formed on a surface of the base material or on a surface of an underlying layer formed on the base material, wherein an area fraction in {200} orientation of the surface layer is 15% or more. 2. A silver-plated product as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said surface layer is formed on the surface of the base material of copper or a copper alloy, or on the surface of the underlying layer of copper or a copper alloy formed on the base material. 3. A contact or terminal part which is made of a silver-plated product as set forth in claim 1 . 4. A silver-plated product as set forth in claim 1 , wherein an entire surface of said surface layer is a surface of silver.
