Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A molten salt bath includes at least two types selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium; at least one type selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine; at least one element selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, and lanthanoid; and an organic polymer having at least one type of a bond of carbon-oxygen-carbon and a bond of carbon-nitrogen-carbon. A deposit obtained using the molten salt bath, and a method of producing a metal deposit using the molten salt bath are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A molten salt bath for depositing at least one element selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, and lanthanoid including: at least two elements selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium; at least one element selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and iodine; at least one element selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, and lanthanoid; and polyethylene imine, wherein said polyethylene imine has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 3000. 2. The molten salt bath according to claim 1 , including at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminium, zinc, and tin. 3. The molten salt bath according to claim 1 , including at least one element selected from the group consisting of chromium, tungsten, and molybdenum. 4. A method of producing a metal deposit including the step of depositing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, and lanthanoid from the molten salt bath according to claim 1 . 5. The method of producing a metal deposit according to claim 4 , wherein an element identical to said deposited metal is additionally supplied to said molten salt bath. 6. The method of producing a metal deposit according to claim 4 , wherein at least one metal selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, and lanthanoid is deposited under a temperature of 400° C. at most for said molten salt bath. 7. A molten salt bath for depositing chromium, including: lithium bromide; potassium bromide; cesium bromide; chromium dichloride; and polyethylene imine, wherein said polyethylene imine has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 3000.
