Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification covers the engineering requirements for
cadmium deposited on ferrous metals.
Application
This process has been used typically to provide corrosion
resistance to steel parts heat treated to tensile strengths of 180
ksi (1240 MPa) and higher and used at temperatures not higher than
450 °F (232 °C), but usage is not limited to such aplications.
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
his process uses 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.
