Method of increasing critical current density of titanium niobium binary superconductive alloys

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7220099
A method for increasing the critical current density of titanium-niobium superconductive alloys by heating a beta-phase titanium-niobium superconductive alloy containing from about 10 to 70 weight percent niobium at a temperature within the phase boundary region between the alpha + beta and beta phases to form a fine-grain beta structure, quenching the alloy to retain this beta structure, and then warm aging the alloy in the alpha + beta phase region to precipitate a homogenously dispersed second phase.
