Cadmium Finishing
(AMS-QQ-P-416 | AMS 2400)
Cadmium plating is a trusted choice for superior corrosion protection in harsh or salty environments, including aerospace, marine, and defense applications. Its exceptional coverage on castings ensures consistent protection even on complex geometries, while its natural lubricity helps reduce friction and prevent galling on threaded or moving parts.
Available with or without chromate finishes—including clear, yellow, or olive drab—cadmium plating can be tailored for both appearance and added corrosion resistance. This Nadcap-certified process meets the highest standards for durability and performance, providing long-term reliability where failure simply isn’t an option.
