Applications Of Cadmium

The single most important use of cadmium is in the production of nickel-cadmium ("Ni-Cad") batteries. About three quarters of the cadmium consumed annually is used to make batteries. Cadmium is also useful in a number of other applications as paint pigments, low-temperature melting alloys, etc.
