Abstract
Techniques are described for rendering silver and copper surfaces of various articles resistant to corrosion. The surfaces are contacted with compounds selected from the group consisting of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol. Abrasion-resistant coatings are preferably applied to the silver and copper surfaces. The corrosion inhibiting compound may be included in the abrasion-resistant coating.
