ABSTRACT:
A substrate metal such as aluminum or titanium, usually in the form of a web, is anodized to form a porous unsealed oxide coating. An inexpensive core metal such as copper or chromium is then electrodeposited in the pores of the oxide coating to form metal nodules extending above the oxide coating in a bulbous, undercut configuration. A second metal, usually an expensive catalytic metal, is deposited onto the surface of the core metal nodules by electro or chemical deposition. A large surface area of catalyst is formed with the use of a minimum amount of catalyst metal. The nodules may be liberated from the substrate metal surface by dissolving the oxide layer and releasing discrete particles to form a fine catalyst powder.
