Electroplated cadmium is a corrosion resistant coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that functions as a "sacrificial coating" corroding before steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal. To enhance the corrosion protection of cadmium plating, chromate conversion coatings can be applied over the plated metal. Which allows for the different colors of plated cadmium, such as yellow, clear yellow, and olive drab.

Cadmium plating offers an exceptional bonding surface for adhesives, which are commonly used in aircraft manufacturing, and preferred for salt-water environments. Additional advantages of cadmium plating include:
· Low electrical resistance
· Outstanding conductivity
· Superior solderability
· Favorable galvanic coupling with aluminum
· Excellent natural lubricity
· Rack or Barrell
· QQ-P-416 Type 1,2,3; AMS 2400;ASTM-B-766
