Abstract
The total voltage applied across an anodic film during its formation consists of the voltage applied to the cell minus any polarization voltage at the cathode and resistive drop in the electrolyte, plus the potential of the electrochemical reaction. It is shown that, because of the latter potential, it is possible to form an oxide film on tantalum even when the tantalum is considerably negative with respect to a hydrogen electrode.Keywords
