## Abstract A comprehensive presentation of the theory of galvanostatic anodization has been given in order to enable interpretation and prediction of the anodization behaviour of barrier layers during technical work on various value metals. The following parameters have been considered, and the re

Abstract
Experimental Factors Affecting Oxide Growth
Results of galvanostatic anodization of various metals with varying valveβmetal behaviour including Nb, Ta, Zr, Ti, Al, W, Te, Sb, and Bi are compiled and compared with respect to the effect of various experimental factors such as surface pretreatment, stirring, solution composition, temperature of the bath, on the efficiency of oxide growth relative to that for other anodic processes. It is concluded that all of the above factors play an important role in the anodization of the nonβtypical valve metals, particularly Sb, Bi and W. Typical anodic charging curves associated with the process of oxide growth are given for several valve metals. Experimental data relevant to the phenomena of oxide breakdown are recorded and compared. The results indicate that the mechanism of breakdown varies for the same metal with variations in the experimental conditions.
