Cadmium

Cadmium plating provides excellent paint adhesion properties, and it is more resistant to stripping than zinc plating. These properties influence the preference for cadmium plating over zinc, particularly in the aerospace industry. Cadmium is also excellent for plating stainless steel for use with aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Cadmium plating is generally bright silvery white in appearance. Type II supplemental treatments can produce an iridescent, black, golden, amber or olive drab appearance. The Type II finish provides particularly good corrosion resistance. Certain special finishes, such as green dye or wax, can be applied to cadmium plated items.
