What is the reason for the popularity of silver sculptures?

Why is it used in the production of silver sculpture? Silver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag and atomic number 47. A transition metal is soft, white and shiny. Highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the earth’s crust as a pure, free element (“native silver”), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chloride. Most silver is produced as a by-product of the refining of copper, gold, lead and zinc.

Silver has long been regarded as a precious metal. Silver metal is sometimes used alongside gold in many bullion coins. While it is more abundant than gold, it is much less as a pure metal. Its purity is usually measured in barrels. A 94% pure alloy is described as “0.940 fine”. Silver, as one of the seven metals of antiquity, has played a lasting role in most human cultures.

Silver other than currency and as a means of investment (coins and ingots), in solar panels, water purifiers, jewelry, ornaments, high value utensils (hence the term “silver utensils”), silver sculpture, in Electrical conductors are used. In specialized mirrors, window coverings, in catalysts of chemical reactions, as paints in colored glass and in specialized confectioneries. Its compounds are used in photography and X-ray films. Dilute solutions of silver nitrate and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants and microbiocides (oligodynamic effect), which are added to bandages, wound dressings, catheters and other medical instruments.

Silverware and sculpture

For the reasons stated, and that silver metal is more valuable than some gold, except gold, was used in the manufacture of silverware and sculpture.

The main use of silver, in addition to minting coins in most of history, has been in the manufacture of jewelry and other public items such as household utensils and silver sculptures, and this continues today as a major use. For example, we can mention table silver for cutlery, which is very suitable due to its antibacterial properties. Western concert flutes are usually made of or made of sterling silver. Silver is usually replaced by electroplating. Silver-plated glass (unlike metal) is used for mirrors, vacuum flasks, and Christmas tree decorations.

Since pure silver is very soft, most of the silver used for this purpose is alloyed with copper, and finenesses of 925/1000, 835/1000 and 800/1000 are common. One of the problems with silver is its easy turbidity in the presence of hydrogen sulfide and its derivatives. Precious metals such as palladium, platinum and gold resist corrosion but are very expensive. Base metals such as zinc, cadmium, silicon and germanium do not completely prevent corrosion and affect the luster and color of the alloy. Electrolytically refined pure silver plating is effective in increasing the resistance to turbidity. Common solutions to restore the shine of tarnished silver are immersion baths that reduce the level of silver sulfide to metallic silver, and wipe the tarnished layers with a paste. The second approach also has the pleasant side effect of polishing silver simultaneously. A simple chemical method to remove sulfide turbidity is by contacting silver items with aluminum foil while immersing them in water containing conductive salts such as sodium chloride.
