Silver-enriched surface layers in Simax glass can be prepared by long-term interaction of the glass surface with AgNO₃ melt at 335°C. The growth of this type of surface layers can be substantially accelerated by the effect of a DC electric field. The dependence of the layer thickness on time for various current intensities, as well as the dependence of the layer growth rate on the current intensity were determined experimentally.
