MICRO-PLASMA ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES

The available data on micro-plasma electrochemical processes of the fo rmation of protective coatings on electrically conductive materials (v alve metals, alloys, and graphite) are analyzed and generalized. A phe nomenological concept describing the steps involved in the process and the relationship of their kinetic parameters, including the dynamics of the total effective resistance of the electrolyte-coating-metal cir cuit, with local and global changes in the state of the highly polariz ed system, is used. Certain data on the mass transfer are considered i n detail.
