Q. What are the uses of silver wire?

Answer

The uses of silver wire in different matters such as resistor and contacts, musical instruments, springs, optical frames & parts, ball pen tips and jewelry. Copper, nickel, and sometimes zinc form the silver or silver alloy. The standard formula consists of 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. Unless it is plated, nickel silver (despite its name) does not actually contain any silver. An increase in copper content improves the ductility and corrosion resistance of nickel silver. More nickel makes the metal look more silvery, while more zinc makes it more corrosion-resistant, warmer to the touch, and harder to work with. The ability to polish silver wire to a high sheen makes it a desirable material for use in the creation of fine jewelry. Ball point pen tips are made from the metal because it is robust and resistant to abrasion. It is ductile, nonmagnetic, and incredibly pliable. This means that the metal can be used in the production of springs, optical frames, and components, and so on.
