查看样本合金摘要数据表（PDF）自1952年以来，合金摘要一直是世界各地使用的金属和合金材料性能数据的主要参考。以图表、图表和表格为特色，这些表格给出了有关成分或特性、物理和机械性能、热处理和可加工性的事实和数字。纯银（银匠级）含银量至少为92.50%；标准等级至少含有92.10%的银。从历史上看，剩余的金属是不受限制的，但铜的使用是（而且是）因为它通常比其他金属更理想。此外，铜是一种比其他金属更有效的硬化剂；然而，铜会显著降低熔点，并显著降低导电性和导热性。纯银用于扁平和中空餐具、各种珠宝和特殊工业应用。

View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.Sterling Silver (Silversmiths grade) contains a minimum of 92.50% silver; the standard grade contains a minimum of 92.10% silver. Historically the remainder was unrestricted but copper was (and is) used because it is more desirable, in general, than other metals. Also, copper is a more effective hardener than other metals that have been considered; however, copper lowers the melting point substantially and lowers the electrical and thermal conductivities appreciably. Sterling Silver is used for flat and hollow tableware, various items of jewelry and special industrial applications.
