The anodic oxidation under spark discharge, known as the ANOF technique [14,15], is a relatively new and promising alternative for the synthesis of catalytic oxide layers on metallic supports [13,16,17] in which the drawbacks of classic anodic oxidation are eliminated. Plasma-electrochemical processes in which hard melting oxidic coating with a very good meehanieal and chemical resistance are deposited on a metallic substrate are also known in the literature as anodic spark deposition [17,18] or micro-arc oxidation [18].
