The electroplating of cadmium systems and kits are based on REAL 99.8% cadmium. This is not a “pretend I am cad” solution of inferior quality. A non Hazmat cadmium is offered for the Recreational Kit and an Alkaline industrial grade cadmium plating solution with the HC, Fusion, and commercial set up. Also offered in the same kit sizes and tank sizes are high speed nickel, tin, hi-speed copper, brass, and hard chrome (industrial chrome) for around the same price range or a little higher. All systems and kits below are priced for cadmium plating and zinc plating on newly machined or cast steel, iron, copper, brass, tin, and zinc alloys. If you need to plate older parts or need to plate onto stainless steel or aluminum, please call for pricing on a specific size system. If you want pricing on Hi-Speed Nickel or Copper, Hard Chrome, Black Nickel, describe size for your exact pricing. It will be within 4% to 7% of the cad system price except for hard chrome which will be 16%. CUSTOM SYSTEMS: If you need at special tank sized system to do sheet metal, wire off spools, very long parts, or wide flat parts, it is possible to build a commercial tank system around your parts.
Carburetor Plating Cadmium Dichromate
Carburetor Plating Cadmium Dichromate Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a “sacrificial coating,” corroding before the substrate material. To enhance the corrosion protection of cadmium plating, chromate conversion coatings can be applied over the plated metal, yielding the familiar gold color as seen in the above picture.
