Passive films valve metals

Metals with insulating passive films (valve metals)... [Pg.316]

Highly protective layers can also fonn in gaseous environments at ambient temperatures by a redox reaction similar to that in an aqueous electrolyte, i.e. by oxygen reduction combined with metal oxidation. The thickness of spontaneously fonned oxide films is typically in the range of 1-3 nm, i.e., of similar thickness to electrochemical passive films. Substantially thicker anodic films can be fonned on so-called valve metals (Ti, Ta, Zr,. ..), which allow the application of anodizing potentials (high electric fields) without dielectric breakdown. [Pg.2722]

The passive films formed by the addition of sufficient amounts of valve metals to amorphous nickel-valve-metal alloys are exclusively composed of valve-metal oxyhydroxides or oxides such as TaOjCOH) , Nb02(OH) or TajO,. Consequently, amorphous alloys containing strongly passivating elements, such as chromium, niobium and tantalum, have a very high ability... [Pg.636]

Valve Metal, Si and Ceramic Oxides as Dielectric Films for Passive and Active Electronic Devices... [Pg.1]

Owing to their low electrochemical potential the group IVB and VB valve metals Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb and Ta readily react with water or oxygen to form a dense, protecting passive layer. This also holds for Al. Because of these protecting oxide films, the valve metals show an exceptional resistance towards corrosion in many aggressive environments. This explains why valve metals are widely used in the construction of chemical apparatus. An extensive number of papers and reviews exist that focus on the corrosion resistance of valve metal oxides [e.g. 1, 2]. [Pg.1]
