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 .0002to.0008 inches. Typical chromates applied include Clear, Yellow, Olive Drab and Black.
