Cadmium Plating Services
NADCAP & FAA/EASA compliant cadmium plating for aerospace and defense with superior corrosion protection and strict environmental compliance.
What is Cadmium Plating?
Cadmium plating is an electroplating process that deposits cadmium onto metal surfaces. It's widely used in aerospace and defense industries for its exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in marine and high-humidity environments.
Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art environmental controls and complies with all federal, state, and local regulations for cadmium processing.
Key Benefits
- Excellent corrosion protection in marine environments
- Superior lubricity
- Galvanic protection for steel substrates
- Low electrical resistance
- Excellent solderability
- Hydrogen embrittlement relief standard

Our Cadmium Plating Process
1. Pre-Treatment
Thorough cleaning, degreasing, and acid activation to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Electroplating
Controlled cadmium deposition in cyanide-based baths with precise monitoring.
3. Chromate Conversion
Application of chromate coating for enhanced corrosion resistance (clear, yellow, or olive drab).
4. Baking & Inspection
Hydrogen embrittlement relief baking followed by comprehensive quality inspection.
