Purpose

This specification establishes the requirements for brush plating of cadmium by electrodeposition.

Application

This process has been used typically to apply a corrosion-protective coating and to repair damaged or worn parts. It is particularly useful when prevention of hydrogen embrittlement of high-strength steel parts or assemblies is sought.

Safety - Hazardous Materials

See AMS 2451.

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.
