Heard rumors of silver's usage in HTS transformers (high temperature superconducting) for massive electric power transmission applications, along with liquid nitrogen coolant. My own methods for magnetic fields, based on the work of Joseph Fourier, who invented mathematical heat distribution methods by Fourier Series is at pages.prodigy.com roth**.txt

Silver is usually not a component of solder for soldering ICs to the PCBs, most likely for cost. Electronic's solder is commonly composed of Tin/Lead and may have a rosin core. You can go into any electronic store and read the package off a roll of solder. Usually in the ratio of 60/40. Tinning makes the joints nice and shiny like a new tin can. Silver solder is 3% Silver, 61.5% Tin and 35.5% lead. Which had one small section in my Electronics catalog, Regular solder had 2 pages. Also in plumbing to prevent lead poisoning some are starting to use a silver based solder. cl >>>I think silver is used as a component of solder in the manufacture of PCBs - giving it the required strength to offset the formation of hairline cracks around the component eads going INTO the PCBs, causing it to fail electronically. <<<
