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. 2″ diameter is a standard form for many plating applications.

Forms:
  • 2 IN Dia. Balls Approx 1.2 Lbs. Ea.
Belmont Product Code 3010
Nominal Composition:
  • 99.95% Cd
