Hello,

A metallurgist told me it is common practice to silver plate stainless steel gears that run un-lubricated to prevent galling.

I am assuming it is an electro plate (like silver plated flatware). Does anyone have info on properties and performance of this type of arrangement?

Thanks,
Steve Krause
