Hi,
All of you here probably know how to electrochemically deposit an oxide film a few hundred nanometers thick that can use quantum effects to make bright colors. The thickness of the film is somewhat proportional to the voltage potential.
However, is it possible to make a coating that is a few microns thick by using kilovolts of electricity or would I hit a brick wall somewhere that would limit the coating thickness? If the thickness is practically unlimited, this could be a viable alternative to vacuum deposition techniques to create a superhard coating on titanium.
