Abstract

This article describes work carried out in UKAEA laboratories to examine the possibility of using protective coatings on cadmium plate—such as that used to protect mild steel—in order to prevent or minimise corrosion due to hostile organic vapours. The degree of attack by vapours of acetic, formic, butyric and propionic acids and formaldehyde on cadmium has been determined and it has been found that attack can be eliminated in many cases by the application of a chlorinated‐rubber lacquer to the metal. A pretreatment primer of the two‐pack etch‐primer type is considered essential for good protection. The protection provided by nine coatings over three pretreatments is described in detail.
