Abstract :
SURFACING ALUMINUM with a high-quality silver plating eliminates many of the joining problems which have limited the application of aluminum bus conductor. These problems are related to the natural oxide film on the surface of the aluminum and to the possibility of galvanic corrosion in aluminum-copper connections.
