Nearly ALL Silver on lead frames in the entire semiconductor industry were ALL Silver clad Copper leads. Hell most were actually Cadmium plated. Many makers still Silver plate some of their parts, but few put on a heavy clad and I'd bet NONE use pure Silver. Cadmium got banned but it was for oxidation. The silver was for conduction.
If you fried a silver clad lead, you did it by way of short, and the melting temp of the lead did not mean a thing at that point. Normal operation of the device does not exhibit the behavior you are trying to foist off onto the lead composition.
You chumps caused the short and that will melt ANY lead.

Making shit up. It is a pure two valence electron metal. It has BETTER conduction numbers and behavior than Copper. There are NO negative aspects of its use other than price. Period.

"gem quality" is the key here.
The fakes are absolutely and easily identified because natural gems ALL have flaws and ALL get laser serialized these days. Fakes are usually all flaw free and therefore readily spotted as man made.

with out the laser tag you need a lab to tell the difference, both have inclusions they are just slightly different, but De Beers have a big marketing department
But cladding works better. A layer of plated silver is actually a bunch of silver crystals, and it's conductivity is lower than that of similar mass o f solid copper. You could probably melt and fuse the crystals with fast las er pulse without getting the wire underneath all that hot, but nobody seems to bother.
It is very common to use silver as the fusible link in power system fuses. "Silver-sand" fuses can have a clearing time well under 1/4 second, lowering both the peak current and energy that gets to the protected equipment. They are called "current limiting".
Why do you suppose people call you "always wrong"?
