Alternatives to Cadmium in Aerospace |

SIFCO has been working closely with Sikorsky Aircraft to use zinc-nickel plating on its heavy lift helicopter, and with OEM parts on localized areas. The results have found that zinc-nickel could become a reliable and compliant alternative to cadmium in the aerospace sector.

What's So Special About Cadmium Plating?

Here's why NASA doesn't like Cadmium plating: 1. Cadmium is known to sublimate in a hard vacuum environment (especially at temperatures above 75° C). The sublimation products, which are conductive, can redeposit resulting in short circuits. The sublimation products may also interfere with sensitive optics. 2.

Why cadmium plated bolts rather than stainless steel?

The sheer strengh of steel is 186,000 pounds per square inch.. The sheer strengh of stainless is 137, 000 pounds per square inch. Since steel's single-shear strength is typically 70% of tensile, it would take some super steel to get 186KSI. AN bolts have a tensile of around 120ksi and would have a shear strength of 84ksi.

Cadmium Plating | Surface Treatment | South West Metal Finishing

Cadmium Plating. Cadmium is robust and versatile. Cadmium has a silvery white metallic appearance with excellent corrosion resistance, which functions as a "sacial coating," corroding before the substrate material. To enhance the corrosion protection of cadmium plating, chromate conversion coatings can be applied over the plated metal.

When to use Cadmium Plated vs. Galvanized Bolts and Fasteners?

The fasteners are 1/4"-20 x 1-1/4" Flat Head Mach Screws. The boxes are threaded and the holes for the FHMS are countersunk. The galvanic action in the environment is very strong, and the fasteners actually corrode in a short span of time. You cannot readily find 1/4"-20 anything hot dipped galv, much less a FHMS.
