Was just reading QQ-P-416 Cadmium Plating.
6.1.1.1.1 basically says that Cad plating should not be used on titanium parts, and cad plated parts should not be used in contact with titanium parts.
Apparently it's right up there with Hydrogen embrittlement... who knew.
Is it only an issue if the parts get hot? If so, how hot?
and how far could the Cad embrittle the Ti part? could it cause a crack nearly an inch away from where a Cad plated fastener was used?
