Patent number: 11929215Abstract: An improved capacitor is provided wherein the capacitor has an improved bond between the anode and anode wire. The anode comprises a pressed anode powder comprising a first density region and a second density region wherein the second density region has a higher density than the first density region. An anode wire extends into the second density region wherein the anode wire in the second density region is distorted by compression. This allows for better utilization of the metal powder surface area by allowing a lower bulk press density and lower sinter temperature while still achieving the necessary wire pull strength. In addition, this invention when utilized with deoxidation steps, results in sufficient wire pull strengths not possible otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: KEMET Electronics CorporationInventors: Christian L.

Publication number: 20170084397Abstract: A method for forming a high aspect ratio sintered powder anode with low warpage, an anode made thereby and a cathode comprising the anode are provided. The method comprises placing a multiplicity of anode precursors on a forming substrate in a common plane wherein no more than 10% of the anode precursors are out of the common plane. A second substrate is then placed over the forming substrate with the anode precursors between the forming substrate and the second substrate thereby forming a sandwiched assembly. The sandwiched assembly is heated to a sintering temperature of the anode precursors thereby forming the sintered powder anodes. The and sintered powder anodes are removed from between the forming substrate and the second substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: Keith Lee Moore, Philip M.
