PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE FOR COLUMBIUM CAPACITORS.

Abstract

During this quarter, construction of the four ratings required for the preproduction run was completed, and they are currently undergoing Group I life testing. Difficulties were encountered in meeting the electrical specifications, but life testing will continue, subject to government approval, in order to increase the knowledge of columbium materials in capacitor applications. The results of the study to determine the effects of voltage and capacitance derating indicated that such derating could reduce failure rates substantially, but it also disclosed several apparent deficiencies in the use of columbium as a capacitor material.
