Study on Cadmium Replacement for HY-TUF Steel

Abstract

Zn-5Ni alloy was selected to replace Cd as a protective plating material for Hy-Tuf steel components, such as V-22 landing gear. The integrity of Zn-5Ni alloy plated Hy-Tuf steel was investigated, performing mechanical test, open circuit potential measurement, stress corrosion crackling test, and fractographic examination. Identical investigations were also conducted with bare and Cd plated Hy-Tuf steel, and the results were compared with those of Zn-5Ni alloy plated one. The overall results indicate that Zn-5Ni alloy plating is superior to Cd plating for Hy-Tuf steel.
