Not especially well. However, the oxidation is usually limited to the surface, so the pure silver "core" will still conduct.
How do you increase the conductivity of molten copper?
Magnitize it
Can you magnitize alumininum nails?
Not at room temperature, however you can make it into an electro-magnet by passing a current through it. If you cool Aluminium down to 1.2 Kelvins then it becomes a superconductor and will behave as if it's magnetic.
