A process for varying the density of porous plated metal foams. Especially useful for battery plate applications, a plated foam is coated with a slurry of predetermined size metal power, particularly nickel, and then sintered. The resultant density of the metal foam may be adjusted as needed.

Method for varying the density of plated foam

A porous nickel electrode substrate having a central high conductivity core sandwiched between two layers of porous conductive material such as nickel foam or nickel felt. The porous conductive material is plated with nickel and then sintered. By selectively controlling the plating of nickel on the porous material, variable conductivities may be designed into the substrate.
