Ti 6AL 4v Silver Plated according to MIL standard

2003

I would like to know if it is possible to silver plate a Ti alloy (Ti 6Al 4V) according to the MIL standard, because I am looking for it in the web and no company was found. Please, could you inform about that?

THANK YOU,

Titanium is a "difficult to plate" material, but it is possible to plate it. Is nickel preplating allowed?
