Electroplating of Refractory Metals and Alloys from Fluoride Melt.
Abstract
This project involved an investigation of electroplating of refractory metals, chiefly chromium, from the molten LiF-NaF-KF ternary eutectic. Initial objectives were to establish the mechanisms of the electro-reduction processes, especially for chromium, to explore the conditions that might lead to thick, coherent, electrodeposited coatings of chromium, and to examine the effects of co-deposits of other elements on the properties of the deposits. The electrochemical behavior of other refractory metals, tantalum and niobium, was also examined. (Author)
