Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a “sacrificial coating,” corroding before the substrate material. The 5-20 Mesh size offers increased surface area for plating.
Forms: - 5-20 Mesh
Belmont Product Code 3008 Nominal Composition: - 99.95% Cd

Nickel coating is used for a wide variety of decorative applications. It offers a high luster finish, corrosion protection, and wear resistance. Used widely in the automative indutry and and for household items. Non decorative application provide wear and corrosion protection and additional strength. The Pellet form we offers increased flowability and will be easy to fill anode baskets of all shapes and sizes.
Forms: - 1/4" x 3/4" Pellets
Belmont Product Code 9002 Nominal Composition: - 99.95% Ni

Zinc metal coatings provide better protection on Iron and Steel than any other corrosion resistant coatings. Plated SHG Zinc coatings are pure compared to hot dipped and are also thinner and more ductile, which allows them to be made brighter and more lustrous. We offer this material in 2″ diameter balls that are solid and clean and do not have any flash orgates which would cause backet hang ups.
Forms: - 2" Diameter Balls
Belmont Product Code 8000AG Nominal Composition: - 99.99% Zn

Why Companies Are Switching from Lead to Bismuth for Copper and Tin Alloys
Are you looking for an alternative to lead-based alloys? Many companies are moving away from lead and copper and tin alloys due to the regulations and toxicity associated with the heavy metal, and that often means choosing bismuth. The good news is that bismuth has a relatively low melting point, and it’s durable and malleable…
Understanding the Various Metals Used for Plating
Are you considering plating metals? The process of metal plating is performed to improve corrosion resistance, add aesthetic appeal, enhance the metal’s hardness, reduce friction in moving pieces, increase or decrease conductivity and to improve solderability. The most common plating metals include brass, bronze, cadmium, nickel and tin, and here at Belmont Metals, we sell…
A Brief Guide to Understanding the Electroplating Process
Electroplating refers to a process used to bind a layer of one metal over the surface of another one. Electroplating changes the properties of an item’s surface, providing protection, improving its appearance, or very often, both. Besides creating a protective coating for a metal item, manufacturers also might use electroplating to increase its thickness or…
Different Grades of Copper
Copper is a commercial metal that is used throughout the world due to its mechanical and structural properties. This metal offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
