Nellis, W. J.; Maple, M. B.

Disclosed are products and processes for making improved magnetic and superconducting articles from anisotropic starting materials by initially reducing the starting materials into a powdered form composed of particles of uniform directional crystal structures, forming a directionally uniform aggregate of particles by exposing the aggregate to a magnetic field of desired magnitude and direction, and then compacting the aggregate into an integral solid body. 2 Figs.
