Abstract

A mathematical model has been established to analyse the cathode current during the production of continuous porous metal using a multiple-step electrodeposition technique. The electrodeposition parameters and production line have been optimized to maintain constant current density on the cathode during the process. The continuous nickel foam thus produced has an improved microstructure and mechanical properties.
