Cadmium plating is used for two primary purposes: 1. To provide sacial corrosion protection to steel components. 2. To provide galvanic compatibility between electronegative materials such as Al and Mg, and more noble materials such as stainless steels. Cd plate is normally chromated with a typical hexavalent chromium conversion coating.

Cadmium plating provides a smooth, adherent surface that is free from blisters, pits, nodules, burning, or other defects when examined visually without magnification. It also provides great corrosion resistance. Contact ENS Technology for more information regarding FED QQ-P-35C cadmium plating today.
