BACKGROUND:
Cadmium was discovered in Germany in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer. Cadmium and its compounds are toxic, however it was used to treat many illnesses in the early 1900's.

CADMIUM POWDER APPLICATIONS:
Cadmium is a bluish-white, malleable, ductile transition metal. It is similar to zinc in many ways, except that it forms more complex compounds when it reacts. Some of the major applications include:

Batteries
The majority of cadmium is used to create batteries. In NiCd batteries, the nickel and cadmium are used as electrodes. These batteries are rechargeable and efficient.

Alloys
Cadmium is used in some of the lowest melting alloys. It is also used in bearing alloys, because of its low coefficent of friction and good fatigue resistance.

Paint Pigments
Cadmium forms various salts, which are used in paint pigments. These pigments are toxic. The most common pigments are yellow pigments and red pigments.
