    CADMIUM PLATING

    Electroplated cadmium is a corrosion resistant metal coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that
    functions as a "sacrificial coating" because of its place on the galvanic series. It preferentially
    corrodes before steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal. To enhance the
    corrosion protection of cadmium plating, clear hexavalent chromium, yellow dichromate, and
    zinc phosphate seals can be added. Cadmium plating offers an exceptional bonding surface for
    adhesives, and is the preferred coating for salt-water environments. Additional advantages of
    Cadmium plating include: low electrical resistance; outstanding conductivity; superior
    solderability; and excellent natural lubricity, which results in prevention of galling and a low
    coefficient of friction. Due to Cadmium’s toxic nature, it is strictly prohibited from all food-
    handling applications.

    Functional Properties: Cadmium vs. Zinc


    Cadmium retains its original appearance longer than zinc and is superior to zinc in marine and
    industrial environments. Due to Cadmium’s lubricity, it is also preferred for moving parts, as well
    as parts that are made out of cast iron. The differences between the torque/tension properties of
    cadmium and zinc are a significant consideration in the plating of fasteners.

    All processes comply with industry specifications including ASTM, SAE, MIL,
    etc., as applicable for the particular process involved and are performed under
    ISO 9001:2000/AS9100B standards. Specific company approvals may also apply.
