Keep in mind that BOTH Copper AND Silver will oxidize.....will the addition of some Gold prevent this?
I don't know.
I DO know a related item of little import to connectors, but does spring to mind. In making transistors or integrated circuits, you start with a doped silicon wafer. Silicon WILL oxiidize, and fairly quickly, in 'air'. But only to a depth of maybe 20 microns. After that? You must add plenty of energy to get a thicker film......A useful 7000 angstroms is done at 1050c and in 'steam'.....will take about 90 minutes, not counting warm-up and cool-down times....
Copper doesnt' seem to have much of a limit, and will oxizide THRU given time.....
Too much is never enough
