Cadmium plating specification query
Q. We produce a number of aerospace products which require Cadmium Plating in accordance with 'DTD 904' On investigating the MOD website www.dstan.mod.uk, this particular specification has been omitted from their listing. Can anyone advise whether this spec. has been superseded and if so, by what spec. and where this can be confirmed?

A. All DTD specifications have been cancelled; the majority have been superceded by either ISO specifications or DEF STANs. DTD 904 is superceded by DEF STAN 03-19 and is available for download from the DEF STAN home page. Passivation of cadmium and zinc is covered by DEF STAN 03-33 (superseding DEF-130).
