Hi, Laily. The silver plating is apparently not thick enough or is too porous.

Copper and silver migrate into each other with a vengeance at room temperature and with more vengeance with heat!
You must use a difusion barrier between the copper and the silver. Use nickel or palladium.

I THINK THICKNESS OF SILVER IS NOT PROPER.
PL. CHECK THE THICKNESS OF SILVER AND LET US KNOW IT.
