As you can read the title , this suggestion would be adding Steel Ingots and other precious item.
To make the silver , you need to do Iron+Iron in the crafting table , creating 2 Steel Scraps. Then placing the Steel Scraps in the furnace.
Stacking to 16 , the Steel Scraps can also make various thing such as Potion of Defense , Steel Handle which can be placed on a Fishing Rod , increasing it's durability.
Combining the Steel Scraps 2x2 give you 4 iron bars back.
Steel Ingot , once it's out of the furnace , can make alot of things such as Improved tools that are better than Iron but less efficient than Diamond.
Steel Scraps can be found in underground dungeon and mineshafts.
Using Steel sword on the enderdragon will do more damage than Diamond Sword unenchanted.
Press that Green arrow if you think this should be implemented in the game.
Basically what you are saying though is that 1 iron equals 1 silver, so then why the need to make it in a table, since its refined iron why not just put it back in the furnace to make a silver?
More sense?
Silver ore doesn't exist and cannot be found. Silver is basicly Refined Iron.
That is not remotely true, sir. While you can't generally find pure silver lying about, there is argentite. Plus, silver has absolutely nothing to do with iron, unless you're thinking of sterling silver
Aside from the potion ingredient part, you're basically treading a lot of the ground that many other suggestions have.

Are you always so pessimistic?
Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

Egads..this is World of Warcraft meets Battlefield 1942 in a dark alley with way too much to drink and no discarded mattress nearby.
Elements don't turn into other elements outside of very special conditions. Iron and silver are their own, separate elements. I'm not entirely sure how you get them confused, sir.
Would somebody like to back me up here, or am I completely wrong?

No, you're right... Iron and silver (as in Fe and Ag) are different elements, separated by 20-something atomic numbers. I'm sure you could combine them (sterling silver is usually silver + copper by the way), but you can't really get one by refining the other (not to say that technology couldn't get there someday ).
That said, I totally support the idea of silver being put into the game, and love your suggestion that it could be used to upgrade tools and weapons, but for reasons stated above, I think it should be mined rather than crafted. Another possibility - and I'm just going out on a limb here - what if you could use it to trim blocks? As in, give them silver edges? Might make for some very nice decorative effects, even if it would be a monumental waste of what I would assume would be a rare material.
Generally supporting this idea,

EDIT: One other thing. Perhaps, only because I think minecraft needs some way to do this, a tool could be surrounded by silver on a crafting table in order to repair it while retaining its enchantments. I'm not sure how it would make sense that silver would be able to do that, but then again, you really can't sew diamonds together and use them to smash rocks either :P.
Perhaps a type of steel would be more logical. The path of:
Iron + Flux = Pig Iron
Pig Iron + Flux/Iron = Steel
has been suggested before. I do, howerver, support the idea of a form of silver. However silver is not really found as a natural ore, and in medieval times had been extracted from lead and copper ores (Galena, Tetrahedrite, etc). This is Minecraft though, where, as Hcrest said before me, you can sew diamonds together and crush rock with them, and you can find Iron Ore (which, there is no such thing).

I meant the steel* used in the mediaval days.

P.S.: I'll get a better signature eventually...
