Method of fabricating composite superconductors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5334871
A method of making stabilized superconductors of a composition such as Nb/sub 3/Sn is disclosed. The method includes forming a stock product comprising a tin base alloy as a core with a copper jacket and having a niobium tube clad thereon. The stock product is then embedded in a good thermally and electrically conducting matrix which is then coreduced until the desired size is obtained. This cold worked product is then submitted to a heat treatment to form superconductors of Nb/sub 3/Sn.
