For the first time, the principled possibility of forming oxide layers on the vanadium surface using the VNM-1 alloy by the plasma electrolytic treatment (PET) has been experimentally demonstrated. A clarified formulation of the valve materials definition has been proposed. The features of PET for the VNM-1 alloy in different electrolytes were studied, the adhesive and cohesive properties of the formed layers were discussed. It was proven that PET technology, along with and in competition with other methods, can be used to obtain vanadium oxides intended for multi-purpose usages.
