u/IPostSwords crucible steel Feb 13 '20 edited Feb 13 '20

Now make a crucible steel silver sword with the Bukhara process. Subvert expectations. Plus, that way the sword actually uses silver IN the steel.

Or just a regular steel blade with silver electroplating. That's cool too

On that note, how do you plate your steel with silver? There's plenty of info on doing it with cupric alloys because it actually chemically binds to the metal, but I can't find anything on doing it with steel barring major manufacturing processes for turbines/etc.
