Abstract: This invention relates to a titanium alloy anode for the electrolytic production of manganese dioxide, wherein the alloy anode is made of titanium as a base metal, and comprises at least three other metals selected from the group consisting of manganese, chromium, iron, silicon, aluminum, cerium, neodymium and mischmetal; the addition of which may be within the range of 8 to 20 weight percent based on the weight of the total composition. The alloy anode, being easy to manufacture and having irregular sectional profiles, is free from severe passivation during electrolytic production using high current density due to its combined properties. The alloy anode, being highly resistant to corrosion by the electrolysis solution, requires no activation treatment during the electrolytic process. The purposefully-designed shapes of the anode permit good attachment of the deposited product layer and prevent the deposition from cracking and peeling-off.
