WHAT METALS ARE IN SILVER PLATED FLATWARE?

Silver-plated flatware typically consists of a base metal, which is often stainless steel, brass, or copper, coated with a thin layer of silver. The base metal provides durability and strength, while the silver layer gives it an attractive appearance. In some cases, the plating may also contain nickel, which can enhance corrosion resistance. The specific composition can vary depending on the manufacturer and the quality of the flatware.
