The Metal Spraying is a very critical operation in the manufacture processes of metallized film capacitor. Since the metal particles are produced by wire melted and high velocity to coat in the end faces, it makes contact with the capacitor winding primarily by partial penetration of the pockets in the end faces formed by staggering the films. Factors which affect the degree of penetration are mainly the velocity of the metal spray particles and their size.
