Cadmium Ingot Introduction Cadmium and zinc are found in nature together.It is a good neutron-absorbing metal, made into rods that slow the rate of chain fission reactions in nuclear reactors, and Cadmium compounds useful in zn-cadmium batteries.Rare elements, symbol Cd.It's silver white.Melting point is 321 â??.The ratio of material to cadmium in the crust is 1000000:0.1 ~ 1000000:0.5.Cadmium Ingot is extracted from zinc ore or sulphur-cadmium ore as a by-product and is mostly used to protect other metals from corrosion and rust,� such as electroplated steel, iron products, copper, brass and other alloys.Another use is to make a bright yellow pigment called cadmium-yellow, which can be used in advanced paints and paints. use Used in the manufacture of alloys: as an alloy group, cadmium can be mixed into many alloys, such as hard copper alloys containing 0.5% ~ 1.0% cadmium, which have high tensile strength and wear resistance.Cadmium (98.65%) nickel (1.35%) alloys are used as bearing materials for aircraft engines.Cadmium is found in many low melting point alloys, with the famous wood fusible alloy containing 12.5% cadmium. Cadmium rods has a large thermal neutron capture cross section so alloys containing silver (80%) indium (15%) cadmium (5%) can be used as control rods for atomic reactors. Cadmium compounds have been� widely used in the manufacture of (yellow)� pigments, plastic stabilizers, phosphors, insecticides, fungicides, and paints.
