Abstract

An elongated, flexible superconductive wire or strip is fabricated by pulling it through and out of a melt of metal oxide material at a rate conducive to forming a crystalline coating of superconductive metal oxide material on an elongated, flexible substrate wire or strip. A coating of crystalline superconductive material, such as Bi.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 CaCu.sub.2 O.sub.8, is annealed to effect conductive contact between adjacent crystalline structures in the coating material, which is then cooled to room temperature. The container for the melt can accommodate continuous passage of the substrate through the melt. Also, a second pass-through container can be used to simultaneously anneal and overcoat the superconductive coating with a hot metallic material, such as silver or silver alloy. A hollow, elongated tube casting method of forming an elongated, flexible superconductive wire includes drawing the melt by differential pressure into a heated tubular substrate.

Melt processing of Bi--2212 superconductors using alumina

Patent Holesinger, Terry G

Superconducting articles and a method of forming them, where the superconducting phase of an article is Bi.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 CaCu.sub.2 O.sub.y (Bi-2212). Alumina is combined with Bi-2212 powder or Bi-2212 precursor powder and, in order to form an intimate mixture, the mixture is melted and rapidly cooled to form a glassy solid. The glassy solid is comminuted and the resulting powder is combined with a carrier. An alternative to melting is to form the mixture of nanophase alumina and material having a particle size of less than about 10 microns. The powder, with the carrier, is melt processed to form amore » superconducting article.« less

Superconductors having a flexible substrate and a coating substantially of Nb/sub 3/Sn

Patent Hanak, J J ; Cooper, J L

A superconducting material is provided comprising an elongated flexible substrate such as a ribbon or wire. The substrate consists of any refractory metal or alloy or clad metal having a melting point above 1000/sup 0/C. On the substrate is a deposited coating consisting of the crystalline reaction product of niobium chloride vapors and tin chloride vapors and hydrogen. The coating consists essentially of niobium tin, and as deposited it is visibly crystalline, non-porous, homogenous or single phase, substantially free of any of the materials of the substrate, and has a density greater than 95 percent of the maximum theoretical densitymore » of Nb/sub 3/Sn.« less
