This specification establishes the engineering requirements and process controls for brush plating of cadmium by electrodeposition. It should be used, in conjunction with AMS 2451, for corrosion-protective, cadmium deposits which might allow omission of hydrogen embrittlement relief treatment of high-strength steels. This process has been used typically to apply a corrosion-protective coating and to repair damaged or worn parts. It is particularly useful to avoid the need for hydrogen embrittlement relief treatment of steel parts.
