Abstract A study has been made of the effects of HCl concentration, current density and frequency on the etch pit size and distribution in 99.98% aluminum foil etched by alternating current electrochemical etching techinique and the capacitance of the foil after anodization. The highest capacitance was obtained under the etching condition of 1.5 M HCl and 10 ㎐ irrespective of current density. The higher chloride ion concentration and the current density and the lower frequency gave rise to the deeper etched layer and the smaller etch pit size. The individual etch pits were aggregated when the chloride ion concentration and current density decreased and the frequency increased.
