1. Argonne National Lab., IL (United States); and others

This presentation/paper gives an overview of the Argonne National Lab`s collaboration with private industry and universities in developing High-Temperature Superconductor Long Length Wires. Highlighted is the lab`s general approach and technical progress towards: sintering, milling, and fabrication conditions; microstructure; fabrication of superconducting joints; on-line monitoring of fabrication; magneto-optical imaging characterization techniques; carbon content issues; Bi-2223 critical current densities vrs length; and conductor stress tolerance parameters. A update on technology transfers and patents is given, showing the progress made between Argonne and Intermagnetics General Corporation, American Superconductor Corp., Radiation Monitoring Devices, SUNY-Buffalo and other national laboratories such as ORNL, BNL, and LANL.
