Clear Cadmium Plating
The carbon steel UNS G10180 machine screws shown in the picture required additional corrosion resistance as they were used for military applications. The fasteners used in machine assemblies were plated with a Type I, Class three cadmium plating. The plating conformed to AMS-QQ-P-416 standards for electrodepositing cadmium, had a plating thickness range of 0.0002″ to 0.0005,” and clear metal finish.
We ensured that the plating thicknesses complied with the lower end of the fastener’s dimensional tolerances, and certifications requested by the Arizona-based customer were also provided with the parts.
