In electrochemistry a valve metal is a metal which passes current in only one direction Usually in an electrolytic cell it can function generally as a cathode but not generally as an anode because a highly resistive oxide of the metal forms under anodic conditions 1 Valve metals include commonly aluminium titanium tantalum and niobium Other metals may also be considered as valve metals such as tungsten chromium zirconium hafnium zinc vanadium bismuth or antimony 2 References edit Electrochemistry Dictionary Retrieved 11 May 2021 US patent 7248462 Method of anodizing valve metal derived anode bodies and electrolyte therefore nbsp This electrochemistry related article is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Valve metals amp oldid 1099029444, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
