Cadmium Metal Description
Cadmium metal is a soft, bluish‐white metal that belongs to the transition metals. It has a low melting point and is relatively ductile. Cadmium is commonly found in the Earth’s crust and is often recovered as a by‐product of zinc refining. It is used in various alloys, for example in batteries, electrical contacts and soldering materials. Cadmium is also a component of pigments used in paints, plastics and ceramics.
