cad-plated stainless steel?

"oilsardine" wrote in message ... hi, guys, I just ordered some stainless piano-hingepins (pn#03-49000). What Aircraft Spruce delivered were some cad-plated rods. I previously got some stainless and these were silvery-shiny. I complained at AS and they responded that their stainless 302 pins truely were cad-plated (?) I never heared about such. What should cad-plating of stainless be good for? I work at a place that sells a bunch of stainless and cad-plated parts. I asked one of the engineers if it was possible to cad-plate stainless steel. He replied it makes no sense at all. Cad plating is used for corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant. Stick a magnet to the part and see if it sticks. Magnets don't stick to stainless steel. Some stainless alloys are magnetic. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired
