Cadmium Rod

Cadmium Rods are a vital part of our extensive range of metal rods. They’re available in 49 diverse variations, ranging from 1mm to 10mm in diameter and 10mm to 1000mm in length. These rods boast excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for protective plating on various metals. At the same time, their low friction and wear-resistant properties make them suitable for applications such as bearings and bushings. Furthermore, their robust blend of strength, hardness and fatigue resistance at elevated temperatures ensures that cadmium alloys are indispensable for aerospace applications. From scientific laboratory equipment to high-performance engine components, Cadmium Rods play a crucial role across multiple industries.
