LACK OF ADHESION OF SILVER PLATING

We are experiencing lack of adhesion of silver plating (anti-galling) from gears and bearings silver plated by different external suppliers.

They should be following specification QQ-S-365.

Which could be the main root causes?

Silver is quite soft. Are you sure its appropriate for use on a bearing or gear? Perhaps it is just wearing off.
