This paper reports on the development of a superconducting linear induction motor (SLIM) for steel making processes using ultra-fine filamentary NbTi wires. A SLIM can produce a strong magnetic field and large thrust in a wide gap. Applying SLIM's to a steel making plant, drastic innovations are expected to be provoked. The authors made and tested a model of SLIM. The model SLIM worked in the wide frequency range 20 Hz {approximately} 300 Hz. Feasibility of a SLIM as a hard ware has been demonstrated.
