Zinc-Aluminium-Cadmium Alloy Sheet Description
Zinc-Aluminium-Cadmium alloy is a reflective, corrosion‐resistant material. It is easily deformed. In zinc alloys, the aluminium percentage affects the castability, notch impact resistance and other quantifiable characteristics. Cadmium influences the alloy at specific concentrations; at other levels, its effect is neutral.

Zinc-Aluminium-Cadmium Alloy Sheet Applications
Zinc-Aluminium-Cadmium alloy is employed for thermal spray corrosion protection, container construction, bridge structures, headframes, storage tanks, electrical support towers, masts, capacitors, metal brackets, spheroidal cast iron pipes and traffic infrastructure. Its measured electrical conductivity makes it suitable for manufacturing galvanised steel sheet, coated steel cables and galvanised automotive components.

The product is clearly marked and externally labelled for effective identification and quality management. Measures are implemented to prevent damage during storage or transit.
Zinc-Aluminium-Cadmium Alloy Sheet FAQs
Q1. What are zinc-aluminium-cadmium alloy sheets used for?
Sheets produced from Zn-Al-Cd alloys provide corrosion protection for sectors such as maritime, automotive manufacturing and construction. They are used in cladding, roofing and structural components that must meet defined durability standards.
Q2. How are Zn-Al-Cd alloy sheets manufactured?
They are manufactured by a casting and rolling process. The alloy is melted, cast into billets and then rolled to achieve a specified thickness. Subsequent processes, such as annealing or surface treatment, may be applied to adjust material properties.
Q3. Can Zn-Al-Cd alloy sheets be recycled?
Yes, Zn-Al-Cd alloy sheets can be recycled. Recycling reduces material consumption and environmental impact. Given the presence of cadmium, appropriate recycling procedures and regulations must be followed to ensure safe handling.
