Electrochemical synthesis of high-temperature borides from molten salts

The place of high-temperature electrochemical synthesis among other methods of boride production is considered. Various electrosynthesis techniques ar e discussed, along with their advantages and drawbacks. The electrode proce sses and the structure of cathodic deposits obtained in the boride synthese s are considered. A conclusion is drawn that the electrochemical synthesis is promising in manufacturing single crystals, plating complex-configuratio n workpieces, and producing disperse boride powders of high purity. Directi ons for further research are suggested.
