Abstract

A capacitor foil made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy whose edge has been treated using a LASER beam exhibits practically no burrs or cracks, as a result of which an increase in the nominal field strength of capacitors made with such a foil becomes possible. A further increase in the nominal field strength is achieved by creating at least one edge with a LASER beam which is enclosed in a reactive gas or gas mixture having a concentration of oxygen greater than the concentration of oxygen in air.
