  • Etching of aluminum capacitor foil
    Patent number: 4588486
    Abstract: Aluminum capacitor foil is etched by passing it through a bath of electrolyte under the influence of pulsed direct current. The pulse duration is at least nine times as long as the interval between pulses when the current falls to zero and is preferably 3 to 27 milliseconds. The pulse current density is 2 to 10 A/in.sup.2, etching temperature is 50.degree. to 90.degree. C., and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.

  • Preparation of capacitor electrodes
    Patent number: 4582574
    Abstract: Aluminum capacitor foil which has been etched for low-voltage applications is rendered usable in intermediate to high voltage capacitors by anodizing the foil in two-stages; first a low voltage stage in an adipate electrolyte and then a higher voltage stage in a borate electrolyte. The fine etch structure of the low-voltage etch is thereby not plugged in the second, higher voltage formation stage, whereby the foil is suitable for intermediate to high-voltage capacitor use.

  • Production of aluminum foil capacitor electrodes
    Patent number: 4537665
    Abstract: In the production of low voltage aluminum foil capacitor electrodes, etched and clean foil is subjected to a thermal treatment at about 595.degree. to 650.degree. C. and then anodized in an adipate formation electrolyte. The electrolyte may contain a minor amount of a phosphate salt, or the final reanodization may be carried out in a phosphate electrolyte.

  • Process for treating aluminum electrolytic capacitor foil
    Patent number: 4470885
    Abstract: Aluminum electrolytic capacitor foil is treated after etching but before anodizing by first contacting it with a phosphate solution and then heat treating for 30 to 90 seconds to form a thermal oxide layer of controlled thickness. On subsequent anodization, the thermal oxide layer modifies the barrier oxide layer increasing its dielectric strength and hence capacitance and also stabilizes the barrier oxide layer.

  • AC Etching of aluminum capacitor foil
    Patent number: 4427506
    Abstract: In the AC etching of aluminum foil in a hydrochloric acid electrolyte containing at least one additive, the presence of 200 to 500 ppm sulfate permits etching thicker foil for higher voltage use than is possible without the sulfate. The additive is chosen from phosphoric, nitric, and tartaric acids or salts. The presence of the relatively small amount of sulfate yields a foil with higher capacitance and generally allows lower temperatures and frequencies to be used.
