Many people at the word "silver" immediately think of jewelry, cutlery, decorative items. However, this precious metal is widely used in industry. Such metal in technical condition is used in unlimited quantities in the manufacture of batteries, boards, various radio components, for example, transistors, capacitors, microcircuits, contacts, connectors, fuses and relays. The increased demand for technical silver in many industrial areas is justified by a high level of electrical conductivity, wear resistance, and heat resistance.
There is an erroneous opinion that this type of metal in its technical form is a low-quality raw material due to the presence of a large number of other components in the composition. However, such an industrial precious metal has 999 proof.
Where technical silver is used
Due to physical and chemical parameters, such as electrical and thermal conductivity, the ability to ideally reflect electromagnetic radiation, low chemical activity, excellent corrosion resistance, this metal is used to cover a variety of parts, providing them with high performance parameters. Due to the low degree of contact resistance, it is widely used for the manufacture of contacts for various purposes.
At the same time, silver-containing alloys are in great demand in industry. A well-designed combination of copper and silver with is widely used for the manufacture of a variety of electronic components, radio elements, electrical sliding and breaking type contacts. Sterling metal has excellent hardness and wear resistance. However, with an increase in the content of the alloying component, its resistance to corrosion and the oxidation process decreases.
The alloy of silver with palladium is distinguished by excellent hardness, the ability to perfectly resist the effects of sulfur compounds and atmospheric corrosion.
The content of technical silver, both in old radio devices made in the Soviet period, and in modern electronic equipment, is in most cases insignificant. In the USSR, every device containing even a minimal amount of precious metals was subject to strict accounting. Therefore, after its write-off, it was imperative to withdraw all precious metals and transfer them to a special commission. Today, any owner of such equipment can independently decide the fate of silver-containing RECs. Engage in the extraction of precious metals from radio components or sell them.
How much you can earn
Every year the bowels of the earth become scarce. And technical silver does not cease to be in high demand in many industries. Therefore, in order to effectively replenish the reserves of this precious metal, the technology of processing various components of electronic equipment containing it is used.
Today in Ukraine, there are many companies involved in the purchase and processing of various used RECs with precious metals. However, purchase of technical silver refers to a rather specific activity in the market of recycled radio components. For several years, this has been done on a professional level by the state of emergency "Buying up the REK" from Lvov. In this company, you can sell a variety of parts containing technical silver on favorable terms. To receive money on a card of any national bank, it is enough to send your RECs by mail to the office of this private entrepreneur. A list of radio components must be included in the parcel. Your earnings will depend on the type of parts and their quantity.
By trusting a qualified company, you are guaranteed to receive your honest remuneration. After all, its specialists have many years of experience in the processing of various types of REC.
