Electrodeposition of Coherent Deposits of Refractory Metals

Abstract
After observing an irreversible step in the electrode process in all cases of coherent deposition of metals from molten fluorides, a chronopotentiometric study of the system which produces coherent molybdenum deposits was undertaken. It was found that in this case also, the electrode process was irreversible at 600 °C, a temperature at which coherent deposits are produced, and became more reversible as the temperature increased. The irreversible behavior of the electrode and the decrease of bath stability with decrease in concentration of molybdenum could be explained on the basis of the following mechanism (see PDF for fomula).
