Abstract:
A method of anodizing comprising suspending at least one aluminium substrate into an electrolyte solution and applying an anodizing current to the electrolyte solution, wherein the electrolyte solution comprises from about 5 to about 99.5 wt.% glycerine, about 0.05 to about 5.0 wt.% of at least one orthophosphate salt selected from the group consisting of ammonium phosphates, alkali metal phosphates, amine phosphates, or mixtures thereof, and water.
Abstract:
A method of anodizing an aluminum substrate comprising heating the substrate to a first temperature of 200 DEG C to about 380 DEG C; suspending the substrate into a first electrolyte and applying a first anodizing current to the first electrolyte; rinsing the substrate; heating the substrate to a second temperature of 200 DEG C to about 380 DEG C; and suspending the substrate into a second electrolyte and applying a second anodizing current to the second electrolyte, wherein the first electrolyte and second electrolyte each comprise an aqueous of at least one salt of alpha-hydroxy acid.

Abstract:
A process for treating an impregnated electrolytic capacitor anode whereby the anode body is immersed in a liquid electrolytic solution and a voltage is applied to the anode body, whereby a current flows through and repairs flaw sites in the anode body. The liquid electrolytic solution includes an organic solvent comprising at least one of polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether. Atlernatively, the electolytic solution includes an organic solvent and an alkali metal phosphate salt. Preferably, the electrolytic solution contains both an alkali metal phosphate salt and an organic solvent comprising at least one of polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
Abstract:
An anodizing electrolyte containing a polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether and an electrochemical process for anodizing valve metals which permits the formulation of an anodic layer having a substantially uniform thickness and reduced flaw density.
Abstract:
An electrolyte for a capacitor and capacitor containing the electrolyte. The electrolyte has up to about 85%, by weight, water, up to about 65%, by weight organic solvent and an acid defined by HOOC-(CH 2 ) x -COOH wherein x is 3, 5, 7 or 9, and ammonium hydroxide.
Abstract:
Organic acid-based binders are efficiently removed from powder metallurgy compacts, such as tantalum capacitor anode bodies, by immersion in a heated aqueous alkanolamine solution followed by rinsing in warm water. This method results in lower residual carbon and oxygen levels than are found with thermal binder removal methods.
