Industrial Cadmium Plating
Available in Boston, MA
Cadmium is one of few deposits that serve as a “sacrificial coating,” meaning that it will corrode before the substrate material when plated. It is an attractive, soft white metal that can be deposited on various base materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, powdered metal and several types of iron.
It is cost-effective and offers consistent, reliable coverage. Cadmium plating can also be adjusted to fit the needs of your project, making it a necessary addition to your project in Boston, big or small.
Its natural lubricity provides anti-galling and low friction, and Keystone Corproation’s baking processes prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, we can enhance the corrosion protection cadmium plating provides by applying a chromate conversion coating with either a clear, gold, olive drab, or black finish. This is the perfect coating for many projects.
