Now, to the original poster, while I have this book out, the word
"properties" covers a lot of territory. Exactly which properties are
you interested in.


Mechanical as regards strength, hardness, and machineability.

Thanks,
robert



Hardness Rockwell 15T, annealed 70, cold worked 83
Electrical conductivity %IACS 85
Ultimate tensile strength (psi), annealed 40000, cold worked, 75000
Elongation % in 2in , annealed 32, cold worked, 4

As to machinability, they do not list it, so this info is anecdotal
based on my own limited experience.

Fine silver maccines about like copper.
Sterling silver machines about like 260 brass
Coin silver machines slightly better.
