Abstract
The principles of electrodeposition are highlighted and attention focused on the electrodeposition of the refractory (transition) metals. The advantages and disadvantages of molten salts for electrodeposition and such complications as volatilization, disproportionation, polymerization and precipitation, which are particularly important in the case of the refractory metals, are discussed, along with the kinetics and the forms of the electrodeposits.
