Silver grain or silver shot refers to granules of silver formed in the sterling silver casting process.
Process[edit]
Silver grain is produced by throwing molten silver into cold water, causing it to form into small (6-7 millimeter diameter) sterling silver globules. These globular then condense out of the water as they cool and solidify. Manufacturers use various additional techniques to increase the regularity of the size of these globules.[1]
Usage[edit]
Silver grain is not typically intended for investment or collectible purposes. The primary use is as a raw material for creating jewelry or other cast silver objects. The 6-7mm size of the silver globules is convenient for a craftsman or artisan to melt a specific amount of silver, as opposed to shaving pieces off of a bar of silver bullion.[1]
Silver shot is also used in many industrial processes, the production of high-tech components that require extreme conductivity and non-corrosiveness.[1]
