What is Silver Nanoparticles in the Thermal Silver Plating of Aluminium Busbar Joints about?

Thermal silver plating method by means of nanosilver-based paint could be an alternative to electrochemical processes. Electrochemical silver layering on aluminium is typically achieved with an intermediate layer, which provides very good adhesion of the layer to the aluminium surface but increases the resistance of the whole junction system. In the method of silver plating promoted by the authors, the intermediate layer is eliminated. The layer of silver paint was applied directly on the aluminium surface by spraying using aerograph. Procured silver layers, according to ISO 2409, prove proper adhesion to aluminium. The value of contact resistance with a pressure of 300 N cm -2 and current load of 200 A is 0.03 μΩ mm -2 , which is comparable to the contact resistance of layers generated by electrochemical means. This new method decreases the level of toxic waste emission and therefore is less harmful for the natural environment. It is also cheaper and simpler than the electrochemical process. An additional advantage is the possibility of silver plating of the chosen surfaces with various shapes.
