Since, Mike (Kansas 914) brought up the question of the similarity in looks of yellow zinc to cad here is information for you to make your own informed decision. Keep in mind, cad plating has been banned in other countries and is very strictly regulated here in the USA due to the very serious side effects on health due to working with it.

Cadmium beats zinc in corrosion resistance. Being a former aircraft mechanic I like the stuff. However, I'm not a big fan of the adverse heath affects. I used to handle thousands of Hi-Loks (Cad plated interference fit fasteners) with little regard until I learned the stuff could kill you.
