Method for manufacturing superconductive conductors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5334737
A method is described of manufacturing superconductive bands which have layers of a superconductive intermetallic compound of niobium-tin. A pair of niobium bands of tin with a layer of tin situated therebetween is heated to a temperature between approximately 950 to 1200/sup 0/C to place the tin in molten condition while maintaining a distance of from 5 to 10..mu.. between the niobium bands so that the molten tin does not flow out of the space between the niobium bands while at the same time reacting with and diffusing into the niobium bands to form layers of niobium-tin.
