Sa. Kuznetsov et al., CATHODIC PROCESSES IN THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF NIOBIUM BORIDES IN CHLORIDE-FLUORIDE MELTS, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 34(5), 1998, pp. 465-472
Cathodic processes during the electrosynthesis of niobium borides are
studied. It is shown that continuous niobium boride coatings may be sy
nthesized electrochemically in a kinetic mode. The electrolyte composi
tion is selected and the process parameters are determined; these make
it possible to produce both crystalline and X-ray-amorphous niobium b
oride coatings 20 to 30 mu m thick.
