Bringing Silver Value Back on Track Silver is a precious metal with a wide array of uses. Silver value has been an acknowledged standard since ancient times when it was the major currency of trade. Although silver value has diminished over the recent times, it still plays a major role in the international market today.

Q1) OFHC copper refers to oxygen-free, high conductivity copper alloys, which typically are types of pure copper alloys. OFHC are metallic materials of the group nonferrous alloys, which is known for it is high conductivity of electrical and thermal ability. OFHC produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing OFHC copper ensures extra

Since metals have crystal structure and free electrons to allow large amounts of dislocations they are both highly malleable and ductile. Ductility of a solid material is the ability to undergo tensile stress without fracture or damage; simply the ability to draw a material into a wire by pulling
