This process can be used to grow thick (tens or hundreds of micrometers), largely crystalline, oxide coatings on metals such as aluminium, magnesium [2] and titanium. Because they can present high hardness [ 3 ] and a continuous barrier, these coatings can offer protection against wear , corrosion or heat as well as electrical insulation .
The electrolysis can be done on a molten metal oxide (smelt electrolysis) which is used for example to produce aluminium from aluminium oxide via the Hall-Hérault process. Electrolysis can be used as a final refining stage in pyrometallurgical metal production (electrorefining) and it is also used for reduction of a metal from an aqueous metal ...
A 19th-century assay laboratory in Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, Arizona. A model of a late 19th-century Canadian seal used to certify the quality of assayed gold. A metallurgical assay is a compositional analysis of an ore, metal, or alloy, usually performed in order to test for purity or quality.
A process for electrochemical production of titanium through the reduction of titanium oxide in a calcium chloride solution was first described in a 1904 German patent, [1] [2] [3] and in 1954 U.S. patent 2845386A was awarded to Carl Marcus Olson for the production of metals like titanium by reduction of the metal oxide by a molten salt reducing agent in a specific gravity apparatus.
Simplified scheme of conventional process of ODS steel (a) and the modified process promoting nano-oxide formation. ODS steels are commonly produced through ball-milling an oxide of interest (e.g. Y 2 O 3, Al 2 O 3) with pre-alloyed metal powders followed by compression and sintering. It is believed that the oxides enter into solid solution ...
Other metal oxides can be used, such as chromium oxide, to generate the given metal in its elemental form. For example, a copper thermite reaction using copper oxide and elemental aluminum can be used for creating electric joints in a process called cadwelding, that produces elemental copper (it may react violently): 3 CuO + 2 Al → 3 Cu + Al ...
High temperature oxidation is generally occurs via the following chemical reaction between oxygen (O 2) and a metal M: [2]. nM + 1/2kO 2 = M n O k. According to Wagner's theory of oxidation, oxidation rate is controlled by partial ionic and electronic conductivities of oxides and their dependence on the chemical potential of the metal or oxygen in the oxide.
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrodes, also called Dimensionally Stable Anodes (DSA), are devices with high conductivity and corrosion resistance for use as anodes in electrolysis. They are made by coating a substrate, such as pure titanium plate or expanded mesh, with several kinds of metal oxides.
