Hi Gabriela,

If you search the forum (couple years back) you'll find a string on the topic between Werner, Dave and I. 
The bottom line was - silver embrittlement doesn't exist.

Subject: [TN] Silver embrittelment in solder joints

Is there anyone who studied if tin lead solders with 2% silver used for
soldering gold plated leads are less reliable than the classic 63/37
tin/lead solder for the same application because of silver embrittlement in
addition to gold embrittelment?
The late Werner Engelmaier published an article:

 
<http://www.globalsmt.net/smt/index.php?view=article&catid=42%3Acolumns-wern
er-engelmaier&id=13358%3Asolder-joint-embrittlementits-not-just-gold&format=
pdf&option=com_content&Itemid=65>

r-engelmaier&id=13358%3Asolder-joint-embrittlementits-not-just-gold&format=p
df&option=com_content&Itemid=65

This article explains silver embrittelment as an addition to gold
embrittelment in lead free solders used for soldering gold plated  leads
with SAC.

Is there a correlation between my question and the article?
Gaby
