Sa. Kuznetsov et al., HIGH-TEMPERATURE ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF ZIRCONIUM DIBORIDE POWDERS FROM CHLORIDE-FLUORIDE MELTS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 70(10), 1997, pp. 1564-1567
Zirconium diboride powders were obtained by electrolysis of a molten K
Cl-KF eutectic mixture, containing 15 wt % K2ZrF6 and 15 wt % KBF4, in
the range of cathode current density from 0.3 to 1.0 A cm(-2) at 1023
K. The effect of cathode current density on the average size of zirco
nium diboride crystals was studied.
