Yes, heat treating has been described, but there may be improved methods. This process is done all the time, but may be semi-proprietary, if not downright patented, and certainly closely held.
Track down the makers of platinized titanium anodes and see what they can do for you, or contact the suppliers of precious metal chemicals.
