Cadmium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula CdCrO₄. It is relevant to chromate conversion coating, which is used to passivate common metal alloys such as aluminium, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium, and tin.^[2] In conversion coating chromate reacts with these metals to prevent corrosion, retain electrical conductivity, and provide a finish for the appearance of the final alloy products.^[3] This process is commonly used on hardware and tool items. Chromate species take on their distinctive yellow color when coated.
