Cadmium is a soft, malleable, crusty transition metal. Color – silvery white. Possesses stability in dry air, in the damp environment, the film protecting the metal from oxidation is formed. Cadmium and its compounds are toxic.
It has a hexagonal lattice structure. Melts at 321 ° C. Boils at a temperature of 770 ° C.
density 8. 65 g/cm3
The main field of application of cadmium – the creation of protective, particularly durable anti-corrosion coatings. Cadmium is used in the production of alloys (printing alloys, jewellery alloys, metallurgical alloys). Cadmium is used in energy. In conjunction with copper, it is used for wires of high-voltage lines, as well as powerful reusable batteries. As part of cadmium telluride is used in space research.
The alloy is a multicomponent material, has plasticity and fluidity, high heat and electrical conductivity, easily forged, rolled and polished, soluble in sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. It is suitable for the manufacture of corrosion-resistant coatings of steel, aluminum and copper products operating in sea water, in rooms with high humidity, in contact with electric current, soldiers, chemical current sources and high-voltage wires, due to which it is in demand in the field of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and radio engineering.
Cadmium metal products supplied in the form of ingots and plates. We offer four main types of metal with different percentages of impurities: Cd-1, Cd-0, Cd-00, Cd-000
