AlCd
metal· JVASP-130540· AlCd
AlCd is an aluminum-cadmium alloy that combines aluminum's lightweight properties with cadmium's strengthening and bearing characteristics. Historically used in bearing applications, electrical contacts, and specialized aerospace components where wear resistance and moderate strength were required, though modern applications are limited due to cadmium's toxicity and environmental restrictions in many jurisdictions. Engineers considering AlCd should evaluate whether regulatory constraints and health/environmental concerns align with their design requirements, as many industries have transitioned to cadmium-free alternatives.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
