Abstract: A group of coatings with iridium oxide as conducting component, and tantalum oxide as inert oxide, were deposited on titanium, and
their microstructural properties examined as well as their electrocatalytic activity and anodic stability tested. The coating activity varied with the amount
of needle crystal of IrO2 and with the constitution of IrO2-TiO2 solide solvent. The influence of tantalum oxide in the coatings
on their accelarated service life was found to be great when the coatings were prepared at high oxidizing temperatures.

Key words: iridium oxide, tantalum oxide, anode coating, oxygen evolution activity
