Default Chip failure and air corrossion products

What you missed twit, is that the silver is not contributory to the corrosion. That copper is sacrificial to silver, and that the cause is air/water getting to the copper due to cracks/failure in the plating.

Again, this process is well understood and often exploited by jewelers and metalsmiths. It's a big world out there, jackass - try learning something.
