Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification covers the requirements for an electrodeposit
of cadmium diffused into an electrodeposit of nickel on carbon,
low-alloy, and corrosion-resistant steels.
Application
This coating has been used typically to prevent corrosion of
carbon, low-alloy, and corrosion resistant steel parts that may
operate in service up to 900 °F (482 °C), but usage is not limited
to such applications. This process is not suitable for use on parts
of complex shape where minimum nickel plate thickness requirements
cannot be met and on parts whose hardness or strength would be
reduced below drawing or specification requirements by heating to
640 °F (338 °C).
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.
