Abstract
Edges of a slit and cut to length foil having a dielectric oxide film on at least one surface are edge formed by edge forming the foil in an aqueous citrate electrolyte, preferably an aqueous ammonium citrate electrolyte, depolarizing the foil, and then edge forming the foil in an aqueous phosphate electrolyte, preferably an ammonium dihydrogen phosphate electrolyte. Using this formation process, a foil with excellent hydration resistance and capacitance is produced.
