Patent ID: 8007643

Claim:
Anode for electrochemical processes comprising a metallic substrate provided with an electrocatalytic coating containing platinum group metals and/or oxides thereof formed by a multiplicity of individual layers obtained by thermal decomposition of soluble precursors, the metallic substrate being made of a titanium alloy containing at least one element oxidisable in the conditions of said thermal decomposition, said at least one oxidisable element being selected from a first set comprising aluminium, niobium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, ruthenium, tin, tantalum, vanadium and zirconium, said metallic substrate further comprising a titanium oxide layer interposed between the metallic substrate and the electrocatalytic coating, wherein an oxide of said at least one oxidisable element, obtained during said thermal decomposition, is partially dispersed inside the titanium oxide layer.
