This Mechanical Drawing is Details of Cadmium plated. Cadmium plating is what's known as a sacrificial coating, meaning it corrodes and breaks down before the underlying material, adding a layer of protection to the metal below. Cadmium has a number of properties that set it apart as a coating material. Those properties include: High resistance to salt water corrosion. Cadmium and its compounds are highly toxic and exposure to this metal is known to cause cancer and targets the body's cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, neurological, reproductive, and respiratory systems. Zinc plating is much more commonly used. The main difference between cadmium plating and zinc plating is that Cadmium plating gives a metallic appearance that lasts longer whereas zinc plating does not last for a longer time period.
