2022年2月10日 · Cadmium usually gets chromated which gives much more corrosion protection from seeing white corrosion products, it also gives it the Olive drab color you have (although other colors exist). The chromate is most likely a hexavalent chromate which has an effective temperature limit.

2024年7月19日 · Cadmium corrosion is a term used to refer to cadmium plating or a cadmium coating because cadmium is resistant to corrosion. However, when cadmium is applied on other metals (e.g., iron, steel) it behaves as a sacrificial coating by corroding before the substrate metal to which it is adhered.

2024年7月19日 · Cadmium plating is a technique used to coat metal surfaces with a layer of cadmium. This technique provides excellent corrosion resistance and is commonly used in the aerospace, defense and electronics industries.

2010年6月27日 · Corrosion Rates of Cadmium - The corrosion rate of cadmium varies considerably with the pH of the corrosive medium and with the absence or presence of certain other chemical species. In the acidic ranges (pH <5.0), the corrosion rate of cadmium increases rapidly and therefore cadmium

Cadmium became an important metal in the production of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable batteries and as a sacrificial corrosion-protection coating for iron and steel. Common industrial uses for cadmium today are in batteries, alloys, coatings (electroplating), solar cells, plastic stabilizers, and pigments.

Cadmium provides tough corrosion resistance in part because the finish is "sacrificial." That is, cadmium "sacrifices" itself to protect the metal it covers. In the face of corrosive substances, the cadmium coating will corrode before the steel or other material it is covering.

Cadmium has been used widely for coating steel structural components and threaded assemblies principally to provide protection from corrosion and in-service hydrogen embrittlement. However, Cd is highly toxic, and the environmental and health problems resulting from its use have become a serious concern.

Cadmium plating serves as a sacrificial coating, meaning that it is preferentially corroded when the coating is damaged and small areas of the substrate are exposed. The cadmium coating is applied in thin layers and can itself be covered with a chromate conversion coating.

Cadmium plating remains a vital process in manufacturing, offering unmatched corrosion resistance, lubricity, and solderability. Its applications in aerospace, military, and electronics underscore its importance in ensuring the reliability and longevity of critical components.

2024年7月19日 · Cadmium refers to a metallic chemical substance with the symbol Cd and an atomic number of 48. Cadmium is silver-white in appearance and has strong corrosion resistance properties. Cadmium is widely used in industrial applications as a plating material on metallic substrates to prevent or reduce corrosion.
