Abstract

See full text

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for anti-wetting metallic surfaces. A metallic object is introduced to an electrochemical solution. A cathode is introduced to the electrochemical solution, and an anode is attached to the metallic object. An electric potential between the cathode and anode is applied, such that selective electrochemical etching of the surface of the metallic object occurs. The selective etching etches grain boundaries at the surface of the metallic object, and the grain boundaries define grain faces.
