Abstract

We studied the feasibility of synthesizing ultrafine oxide powders by anodic oxidation of metals, such as zirconium and tantalum, in chloride + nitrate melts at temperatures above 830K. We showed that, varying the electrolyte composition, oxidation temperature, and anodic current density, one obtains either compact protective coatings on the specified metals or oxide powders with particle sizes of 50 to 200 nm.
