In comparison to other dielectric, similar voltage endurance is provided by dielectrics even if thickness ("d" in the above formula) is thin. By etching the surface of aluminum foil, the effective area of the foil can be enlarged 80~100 times for low voltage capacitors and 30~40 times for middle / high voltage capacitors.
Against such a background, this article evaluates the anode foil of a new supplier to be used in a 400 V medium and in a high voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor with the purpose of minimizing the product costs while achieving the same performance.
A 0.05~0.11 mm thick anode foil and a 0.02~0.05 mm thick cathode foil are continuously etched electrochemically in a chloride solution with an AC or DC current. This enlarges the effective surface area of the aluminum foils to attain smaller capacitor sizes. The process develops aluminum oxide (Al203) to form a capacitor dielectric.
Conclusion Anode foil for aluminum electrolytic capacitor was prepared by powder additive manufacturing technology. Based on the TG-DTG analysis, the sintering process was designed. Moreover, the effects of aluminum powder particle size and sintering temperature on electrical properties were investigated.
The core of the aluminium electrolytic capacitor is anode foil and aluminium oxide dielectric layer. The anode foil is formed by the corrosion of aluminium light foil and can be divided into high-voltage etched foil and low-voltage etched foil, depending on the working voltage.
Among all the raw materials for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, there is no doubt that the anode foil is one of the most important raw materials influencing the performance of capacitors. The voltage, capacitance, thickness and impurity content of the anode foil have a direct effect on the performance of capacitor.
