Title: Method for the manufacture of a superconducting hollow conductor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5422027

A method for manufacturing a superconducting hollow conductor, with superconducting conductor strands arranged in the interior of a tube through which coolant flows, which allows simple manufacture of long conductor sections, includes enclosing the helical conductor strands in a longitudinally welded tubular carrier body and subsequently drawing the carrier body to an inside diameter which is smaller than the original outside diameter of the helical conductor strands to obtain a mechanically strong conductor arrangement with a defined uniform flow cross-section for the coolant.
