This document describes an electrochemical study of the anodic oxidation of titanium and a TA6V alloy in chromic acid electrolytes. Voltammetry and chronoamperometry experiments were conducted to investigate the formation of oxide films. In a chromic acid electrolyte without fluoride, a thin compact oxide film forms, while in a fluoride-containing electrolyte, a duplex film of a compact layer topped by a porous columnar layer grows. The voltammetry results show a breakdown of the compact film around 3 V/SCE and that alloying elements influence porous film formation. Chronoamperometry reveals the complex growth process involves residual current contributing to thickening of both layers, with overall electrochemical efficiency decreasing over
