I want to respect proprietary processes--as well as ITAR--so I'm going to
be a little vague:
It is my understanding that the silver is electroplated using a very
different process than that conventially used for fine silver plating.
The Samarian Oxide process involves--as I have seen it--dipping of the
screens for a specific period of time in a Samarian Nitrate solution that
is kept at a specific temperature; that is followed by warm air
drying--again, at a specific air temperature--followed by oven cooking at a
specific temperature and for a specific period. This is repeated a number
of times. Test samples are inspected via electron microscope to verify that
the coating is the correct overall thickness and has the correct porosity.

How is the plating actually done here?
galvanic? that will come off easily.
High current galvanics could improve on that.
what about molten powder application

or sputtering?
