ion used either in the surface preparation or in the subsequent anodising of zirconium has a profound effect upon the stresses in the zirconium oxide anodic layer. By a suitable choice of surface preparation, anodising electrolyte, and growth rate, anodic oxide films can be grown on the surface of zirconium having tensile, compressive, or effectively zero stress.

Changes in the thermal oxidation of zirconium due to the presence of an initial electrolyticallyformed oxide layer are studied. The increase in thickness of the oxide on heating is measured optically and gravimetrically. The effect of the initial layer is the same as if it had been produced thermall
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
During the growth of anodic oxide films, surface irregularities of the scale of the thickness of the oxide film are believed to be flattened. The original inner layers of the oxide (new layers are formed on the outside, since metal ions move) are, therefore, constrained to cover a progressively smal
