Influence of electrolysis mode, complex formation and micropassivation on the roughness of niobium and tantalum coatings

Abstract

It is shown that the use of pulsed electrolysis has significant advantages compared with the stationary mode and allows obtaining coatings with a lower level of roughness. The effect of complex formation on the quality of niobium and tantalum coatings is discussed. The effect of micropassivation on the roughness of niobium coatings obtained by the electrolysis of molten salt based on an equimolar mixture of sodium and potassium chlorides has been established.
