Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0578605A1] The invention relates to a molten bath for plating with high-melting metals, in particular niobium and tantalum. The bath consists of an alkali metal fluoride melt, which contains oxide ions and ions of the metal to be precipitated. The molar ratio between the metal to be precipitated and the oxide ions, or the other cations in the melt, must be held within given ratios. The redox level must be held at a value which corresponds to that which is reached when the molten bath is in contact with the particular high-melting metal in the metallic form. The invention also relates to a process in which the bath in question is used.
