Abstract
The effect of surface treatment of the titanium base on the characteristics of the DSA-type positive grids and plates was examined, using mechanically polished, sandblasted and chemically etched titanium. It was found that the anodic durability of the grids and the service life of the plates were greatly increased and the self-discharge rate of the DSA-type plates was significantly decreased by sandblasting and chemical etching of the titanium base.
