Cadmium
Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a “sacrificial coating,” corroding before the substrate material. Cadmium plated surfaces resist mold or bacteria growth. The typical thickness of cadmium ranges from .0002 to .0008 inches.
