Pulse current plating of TiB2 in molten fluoride

Co-reduction of aluminium and lanthanide ions in molten fluorides: Application to cerium and samarium extraction from nuclear wastes

“…When both metallic ions are present in the melt, only one reduction peak is observed on the cyclic voltammogram corresponding to TiB 2 deposit, which is shifted towards more positive values, than that of the pure boron deposition. This observation was confirmed by Ett et al [16] and Wendt et al in molten fluorides [17,18].…”

Electrodeposition of metals from non-aqueous solutions

“…The temperature of the process was 600 • C and all the results were obtained on graphite electrodes as the substrates. The electrodeposition with PCP produced coatings with better quality, showing fewer cracks and better adhesion to the substrate when compared to those obtained by CCP [134]. TiB 2 coatings over a molybdenum substrate were examined by comparing the electrochemical techniques of CCP and periodically interrupted current (PIC) at 700 • C for 30 min.…”

Electrodeposition of [001] oriented TiB2 coatings

“…doi:10.1016/j.matlet.2005.05.050 current density range. For the PIC deposition, the research results indicated 100 Hz was the most suitable at the range from 10 to 1000 Hz [4], so the 100 Hz for a ratio of t c / t off = 9 / 1 was selected in this paper.…”

“…The two most frequent current profiles at PCP are the periodically interrupted current (PIC), in which the current is a unidirectional square-wave, and the periodic reverse current (PRC), where a bidirectional square waves is used. Compared with the CCP technique, the PCP technique has more advantages [4]. Grounded on above analyses and considerations, the paper adopted the electrodeposition methods (CCP and PIC) to synthesize the TiB 2 coating on the graphite substrate, for the thermal expansion coefficient (4.3 Am/m/-C)of graphite is close to that (4.6 Am/m/-C) of titanium diboride [5].…”
