-The behaviour of titanium in 3.0 moldm-" H,SO, has been studied by in situ ellipsomtiry. The growth and subsequent dissolution of the anodic oxide under opcn-eireuit conditions have been characterised and in addition evidence for the formation of a suboxide layer hetween the metal and the dioxide tilm has been obtained. The elliesometric data show that thinnina of the oxide 6hn in H,SO, at ooen-circuit occurs by uniform dissolutibn at a constant rate, rather than by loealixecl attack. The& r&&s c&irm the conclusions reached in a previous study in which the charge required to regrow the film following partial dissolution was measured by linear sweep voltammetry.

It has been shown previously that the kinetics of anodic film growth on Ta, Nb and Zr often depend strongly on the nature of the electrolyte. This work is an attempt to resolve this anomaly and the inconsistencies in the reported structures of the oxide layers. Electron diffraction showed the anodic
