Roger I don't know, maybe there isn't any oxide formation, or perhaps the deposited silver has some oxide content, or perhaps the slow cooling on the side of the vessel aided in oxide decomposition. > You may also find that a pulsed DC supply would give you superior results. > > Ivan: Superior to what?

The ability to strike and maintain an arc in an inert atmosphere is far, far easier than in free air. I must try a DC arc and see what sort of results can be achieved.
