Full title and description

Metallic and other inorganic coatings — Electroplated coatings of cadmium with supplementary treatments on iron or steel. This International Standard specifies requirements and supplementary treatments for cadmium electroplated coatings applied to iron and steel, including information to be supplied by the purchaser, coating requirements, and heat-treatment practice before and/or after electroplating; it also describes certain limitations and exclusions (for example, sheet/strip/wire in the non‑fabricated form and close‑coiled springs).

Abstract

ISO 2082:2017 (4th edition) defines quality and application requirements for electroplated cadmium coatings on iron and steel, covering coating characteristics, classes, dimensional/functional limits (notably for threaded parts), and guidance on supplementary chromate and corrosion‑resistant treatments. Annex material gives additional guidance on corrosion resistance, rinsing/drying and processing in bulk.

Scope

ISO 2082:2017 applies to electroplated cadmium coatings on iron and steel where the coating provides protective properties, intrinsic lubricity, ductility, electrical conductivity or low contact resistance. It specifies purchaser‑electroplater information, coating requirements and permissible supplementary treatments, and addresses heat treatment before and after plating. The standard explicitly excludes coatings on sheet, strip or wire in non‑fabricated form, close‑coiled springs and coatings applied for purposes outside those listed above; surface condition of the substrate prior to plating is not specified in the standard.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of coating classes, thickness ranges and acceptable deviations for cadmium electroplating.
• Requirements for supplementary treatments (chromate conversion coatings and similar) and guidance on corrosion performance.
• Heat‑treatment recommendations before/after electroplating where applicable.
• Information and data that purchasers must supply to electroplaters (material condition, dimensional/functional limits, coating class required).
• Notes on limitations for threaded components where coating thickness may be constrained by fit or tolerance requirements.
• Annex guidance covering corrosion resistance testing, rinsing/drying, bulk processing and dyeing of conversion coatings.

These topics and requirements are summarized from the ISO specification and its annexes.

Typical use and users

Typical users include electroplating and surface‑treatment companies, design and manufacturing engineers (particularly in aerospace, defence, automotive and fastener industries), procurement/specification authors, quality and inspection laboratories, and conformity assessment bodies that require documented cadmium plating requirements and consistent acceptance criteria.

Related standards

ISO 2082:2017 replaces ISO 2082:2008 (previous edition) and is published as an international standard with regional/adopted versions (for example EN ISO 2082:2017 / BS EN ISO 2082:2017). Other related documents include standards and test methods for corrosion testing, chromate conversion coatings and metallic coating specifications developed by ISO/TC 107 (surface chemical and electrochemical treatments) and national bodies.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 2082:2017 is the International Standard specifying requirements for electroplated cadmium coatings with supplementary treatments on iron and steel.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers coating classes and requirements, supplementary treatments (such as chromate conversion), purchaser information to be supplied, heat‑treatment guidance, and limitations (for example exclusions for sheet/strip/wire in non‑fabricated form and close‑coiled springs). Annexes give additional guidance on corrosion resistance and processing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Electroplaters, product and mechanical designers, procurement/specification writers, inspection and test laboratories, and industries where cadmium plating is used for corrosion protection, conductivity or low contact resistance (e.g., aerospace, defence, fasteners, electronics).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 2082:2017 is the current (4th) edition published in 2017; it replaced the 2008 edition and is maintained under ISO review cycles (standards are normally reviewed every five years). Check national catalogues or ISO for any later confirmation or revision status if needed.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone ISO standard within the subject area of metallic and inorganic coatings and is associated with related ISO standards on surface treatments and corrosion testing; it has European/adopted variants (EN ISO / BS EN).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: cadmium plating; electroplating; cadmium coatings; chromate conversion; corrosion resistance; coating thickness; iron; steel; heat treatment.
