Silver Plate Corrosion
Silver Plate Corrosion
(OP)
We have some copper pieces silver plated and the plating becomes tarnished when exposed. Is this normal? Does it effect the conductivity of the electrical joint when applied.
thanks
thanks

As for electrical conductivity, it would affect it, UNLESS, you are able to break through the tarnish to get to the metal underneath. As a general rule, this is discouraged, as the tarnish can still spread, since you don't have a clean interface, so "stuff" can still get in.
