Formation of a regular cellular structure on the surface of Zr67Ni30Si3 alloy at electrochemical polishing in ionic liquids

Impact of Pretreatment of Metal Glass Fe70Cr15B15 on Anodization in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate Ionic Liquid

“…In this case, according to the SEM data, nano-cells were detected on the surface of the electrode (Figure 2a). A similar phenomenon was observed earlier on the surface of various electrodes during anodization in ionic liquids [17][18][19] and other non-aqueous electrolytes [29][30][31].…”

“…In some cases, the etching (pitting) of the electrode surface is also observed. In general, the result of anodization depends on the nature of the metal, alloying additives, surface morphology, properties of surface oxide films, type of ionic liquid (hydrophobic/hydrophilic), presence/absence of water, temperature and other factors [17][18][19]. The influence of the nature of the ionic liquid (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) was studied during the anodization of Ti, Ni, crystalline steel.…”

“…Nanotubes, nanorods of corresponding oxides are formed in hydrophilic IL (BMIMCl). Previously, the authors found that metallic glasses are the most favorable materials to produce surface nanostructures by anodic oxidation in ionic liquids [17].…”

Nanorolls Decorated with Nanotubes as a Novel Type of Nanostructures: Fast Anodic Oxidation of Amorphous Fe–Cr–B Alloy in Hydrophobic Ionic Liquid

“…The alloy composition represents the nominal composition of the mixture. Amorphous alloy ribbons with a thickness of about 0.01 mm were prepared by a melt spinning technique. , …”

Advantages of Electrochemical Polishing of Metals and Alloys in Ionic Liquids

“…The surfaces of the alloys based on Zr 2 Ni doped by silicon (3 at.%) in the amorphous and crystalline states were electrochemically polished in the ionic liquid BmimNTf 2 in the galvanostatic regime [72]. It was found that a much more uniform distribution of the nanosized fragments could be obtained (and a more uniform surface polishing) in the case of amorphous Zr 67 Ni 30 Si 3 alloy.…”
