Silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals, and is often used to make highly sensitive physical instrument elements, various automation devices, rockets, submarines, computers, nuclear devices, and communication systems.Due to its good wetting and fluidity, silver and silver alloys are also commonly used in welding materials.
The most important silver compound is silver nitrate.In medicine, an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is often used as eyedrops, because silver ions can strongly kill bacteria.
Silver is a beautiful silver-white metal that is malleable and widely used in jewelry, ornaments, silverware, medals and commemorative coins.
Pure Silver Physical Property:
Material | Composition | Density(g/cm3) | Resistivity(μΩ.cm) | Hardness(MPa) |
