Electrodeposition of Coherent Coatings of Refractory Metals VII . Zirconium Diboride

The electrodeposition of coherent coatings of zirconium diboride from a solution of and in the molten eutectic mixture of is described. A constant composition is maintained by using a anode and composition such that no volatile is formed. The function of as an oxide ion getter in the solution is demonstrated.
