Zinc Aluminum Cadmium Alloy Rod Description
Zinc Aluminum Cadmium Alloy is a shiny and corrosion resistant material which offers high formability. In zinc alloys, the amounts of aluminum will affect the castability, impact strength and other properties, and cadmium also has effects at some concentrations and neutral at others.

Zinc Aluminum Cadmium Alloy Rod FAQs
Q1. What is Zinc Aluminum Cadmium (Zn-Al-Cd) alloy rod used for?
Zn-Al-Cd alloy rods are primarily used in cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion of metal structures such as pipelines, storage tanks, and ship hulls. They are also used in the production of specialized alloys and in certain electrical and thermal applications.
Q2. How are Zn-Al-Cd alloy rods installed for cathodic protection?
Zn-Al-Cd rods are typically installed by either welding or bolting them to the metal structure that requires protection. They are then connected electrically to the structure, ensuring a good conductive path. The rods are often placed in locations where they can be easily inspected and replaced if necessary.
Q3. Can Zn-Al-Cd alloy rods be used for other purposes besides cathodic protection?
Yes, Zn-Al-Cd alloy rods can also be used in the production of specialized alloys, in certain thermal and electrical applications, and for making sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection in specific environments.
