Purpose:

This specification covers the engineering requirements for electrodeposition of titanium-cadmium on metal parts and the properties of the deposit.

Application:

This process has been used typically to provide corrosion resistance to high strength steel for use in fracture critical applications such as aircraft landing gear and naval arrestor hooks at temperatures below 450° F (232° C) by limiting the generation of hydrogen and potential hydrogen embrittlement, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Safety-Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.

Warning:

This document includes cadmium as a plating material. The use of cadmium has been restricted and/or banned for use in many countries due to environmental and health concerns. The user should consult with local officials on applicable health and environmental regulations regarding its use.
