Silver (Nickel) has a higher operating temperature than copper (2400F vs.
1800F).
According to Permatex: "It is recommended where copper contamination must be
avoided, under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature, and with
stainless steel, titanium a"
and nickel alloys
Also, copper is apparently unstable with acetylene.
