Silver-plated material with two-layer plating structures
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240026558A1) describes an innovative Ag-plated material that includes a conductive metal substrate with an Ag-plated layer and a series of two-layer plating structures. These structures consist of a porous Ni-plated layer followed by an Ag-plated layer, all arranged in a specific order. Additionally, the material may feature an underlying Ni-plated layer between the two-layer plating structures and the substrate, with specific thickness ranges outlined for each layer.
Furthermore, the patent application details a method for producing this Ag-plated material, involving the formation of the two-layer plating structure on the substrate and the creation of multiple layers of this structure. The method also includes the option of adding an underlying Ni-plated layer and specifies the thickness ranges for the porous Ni-plated layer and the Ag-plated layer. The application also mentions the potential application of this material in electrical components such as contact or terminal components, highlighting its suitability for such uses.
