Silverplate is the result of a process that bonds pure silver to a strong stainless steel base. The plating is done by transferring a uniform layer of pure silver from a silver ingot or bar to the surface of the item being plated. To do this the piece is immersed in a special chemical plating solution and an electrical current is directed through the silver bar to the suspended piece.
