Cadmium Plating of Fastener Inserts

Cadmium Plating of Fastener Inserts The customer in this case wanted us to cadmium plate 6,000 stainless steel fastener inserts for an urgent military requirement. The screw thread inserts weighed 35 pounds, and were cadmium plated to SAE standards. Before electrodepositing the cadmium, all inserts were cleaned with a double alkaline and acid solution. Plated inserts were finished with an olive drab chromate finish, in line with customer request. The customer specifically requested us to carry out inspections for oil as well as scaling, which we did in addition to visual and thickness inspections. Despite being a rush job, we ensured consistent plating thickness of 0.0001" on all fastener inserts and shipped them back to the customer's location in Nevada with all certifications.
