Hi, Nabhiraj,

Yes, copper plating is much less expensive for mass production, so we want to
use silver as little as we can.

Hello MIngke,

May i know your application? I am wondering why you are plating Cu on Silver? as
such Silver would do the job of Cu even in a better way. Or is it to reduce
the cost of mass production ?
