What Does Cadmium Corrosion Mean?
Cadmium corrosion is a term used to refer to cadmium plating or a cadmium coating because cadmium is resistant to corrosion. However, when cadmium is applied on other metals (e.g., iron, steel) it behaves as a sacrificial coating by corroding before the substrate metal to which it is adhered.
Cadmium is a soft white metal that can be electroplated as a versatile coating.
