US Patent Issued on Oct. 28 for "Thermal spray powder for coating electrodes in hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis" (Michigan Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,454,743, issued on Oct. 28.

"Thermal spray powder for coating electrodes in hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis" was invented by Subramaniam Rangaswamy (Rochester Hills, Mich.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A metal alloy powder composition consisting essentially of Nickel (32 to 42 wt %)-Aluminum (40-50 wt %)-Molybdenum (10-20 wt %)-Boron (0.1-2.0 wt %) in the particle size between 125 to 5 microns range and manufactured as an alloy by gas or water atomization process. This composition reduces the melting point of the alloy and minimizes the oxidation of aluminum in the alloy during thermal spray. This improves the integri...
