1. A method for forming a capacitor anode comprising:
inserting an anode wire in an anode powder with a first portion of said anode wire extending from said anode powder;
pressing a portion of said anode powder to form a pressed powder anode comprising a face of egress and a terminal end;
wherein said pressing comprises forming a bulk region having a first density and a high density portion having a second density with said anode wire in said high density portion wherein said pressing of said high density portion is sufficient to distort said anode wire in said second portion; and
wherein said high density portion extends to said terminal end.
