Cadmium is one of few deposits that function 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 various types of iron.
Cost-effective and consistent, Cadmium offers reliable coverage for a variety of applications.
More About Cadmium Plating
Cadmium’s natural lubricity provides anti-galling and low friction, and baking processes prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, the corrosion protection cadmium plating provides can be enhanced by applying a chromate conversion coating with either a clear, gold, olive drab or black finish.
