Cadmium is a naturally occurring minor element, one * '''Introduce and explain the benefits of the metallic components in the earth’s crust and oceans, and present everywhere in our environment. It was first discovered in Germany in 1817 as a green technology developed by-product of the zinc refining process. Its name is derived from the Latin cadmia and the Greek kadmeiaPratt & Whitney.'''

Industrial applications for cadmium were developed in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Cadmium-sulfide based pigments were used as early as 1850 and appeared prominently in the paintings * '''To find out interest of Vincent Van Gogh in the late 1800s. Thomas A. Edison prospects in acquiring the United States and Waldemar Junger in Sweden developed the first nickel-cadmium batteries early in the 20th Century. However, the most significant early use of cadmium was as technology on a corrosion-protection coating on steellicensed basis from Pratt & Whitney.'''

Up to thel960s, very elevated cadmium in air exposure levels were measured in some workplaces, sometimes as high as 1 MOJM3. Since that time, workplace exposures and standards have decreased markedly so that most occupational exposure standards today are * Pratt & Whitney is one of the largest aircraft engine manufacturers in the range from 2 to 50 Ug/M3.In cases where cadmium air levels are higher, the use world with a sales revenue of personal protective equipment is obligatory. Extensive preventative hygiene programs more than $12 Bn and medical follow-up programs have been developed to control the risk related to cadmium exposure at the workplace (ACGIH 1996, OSHA 1992, Lauwerys 1986, Cadmium Council 1986). Considering present levels of occupational exposure cadmium intake, use of cadmuim spends more than $250 Mn in Workplaces is a matter of concernResearch & Development.

* Has always been at the forefront of technologies for turbine, rocket, reciprocating engines, power systems, etc. === Issue at Hand === * It is very difficult to ensure complete protection of steel from corrosive environment at temperatures as high as 900°F. * Traditionally used Ni-Cd Coatings involve use of Hexavalent chromium, cadmium and cyanides which are very toxic. Thus, making it difficult to ensure Safety of the work environment. === Cadmium qualms === * Cadmium is a toxin for both animals and plants. * Cadmium is known to sublimate in a hard vacuum environment .The sublimation products, which are conductive, can redeposit resulting in short circuits. The sublimation products may also interfere with sensitive optics. * Cyanide solutions used in Cadmium plating are highly Toxic. * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive|RoHS] disallows use of cadmium in electrical equipment. * Cadmium is subject to the spontaneous growth of Cadmium whiskers. Cadmium whiskers (like tin whiskers) grow spontaneously and are capable of causing electrical failures ranging from parametric deviations to sustained plasma arcing that can result in catastrophic short circuits.[Imagehttp://www.finishing.com/100/89.shtml|Source] === Environment Friendly solution === * Environmentally friendly alternative to Ni-Cd coatings.* Eliminates Materials of Concern from the product such as Cadmium Consumption, hexavalent chromium and Cyanides from the plating process.* Offers equivalent or superior protection to the baseline NiCd coatings. === The Unique Process ===[[Image:Plating Process.jpg]] === Area of Application ===[[Image:Area of Application.jpg]] === Legal Status ===[[Image:countrywise filing.jpg]]
