Corrosion of Bare Ag, Ni/Ag and Cu/Ag Films on Glass by Wet HCl Vapor

Abstract

The chemical corrosion of bare Ag, Ni/Ag and Cu/Ag films on an aluminoborosilicate and a soda lime glass in wet HCl vapor at 30 and 50°C was investigated. Ni and Cu produce additional chemical reactions which adversely affect the reflective characteristics of Ag films. Ni provides more chemical protection than Cu, but neither of them is as surable as bare Ag films.
