Don't like the looks of that plating. The cadmium plating on AN fasteners I've seen in the past is similarly colored.

Part description states Zinc plating. Most likely Zinc Chromate which does not carry the baggage of Cadmium.

Good to know Joe about zinc chromate plating being yellow/multcolor.

Did a web look-up and unfortunately the chromium content is worse than straight zinc alone.  :(

Wish they didn't plate these welding tables at all. A straight water based graphite black paint, like stove polish, would make more sense. Any coating is only going to protect the metal from rusting in the box, but not after use anyway.
