| Cadmium Plating - Current Applications and Future Availability Cadmium as a sacrifial coating to protect fasteners was eliminated in automotive applications decades ago. The aircraft industry has continued to specify cadmium plating during this time, and is now one of the largest consumers of the metal. The reasons why aircraft manufacturers continue to use cadmium are reviewed, and the likelihood of a complete ban discussed. The status of hexavalent chromium coatings is also reviewed, since these are almost always specified for the passivation of cadmium. John Newnham, Confederation of British Metalforming, 05-Feb-08 |
