    摘要: A superconducting article having a high bulk sheath resistivity, and methods of manufacture of such an article. High-temperature superconductor filaments are disposed in a ductile matrix comprising a high silver content. The matrix is then coated with a solute and heated to a temperature high enough to allow the solute to diffuse into the matrix, but not high enough to allow substantive degradation or poisoning of the superconductor. After diffusion and cooling, the matrix comprises a silver alloy having a higher bulk resistivity than the pure silver.

    摘要: A low-aspect ratio multi-filament superconductor wire includes a plurality of oxide superconductor filaments arranged in an elongated wire structure. Each filament of the wire also has a low-aspect ratio. The filaments are textured such that a crystallographic c direction of each filament is aligned with a crystallographic c direction of all other filaments with the crystallographic c directions being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wire structure. The invention also features a groove rolling machine for forming a low-aspect ratio multi-filament superconductor wire by texturing a precursor tape by deforming the tape to a low-aspect ratio wire by reducing a larger dimension of the tape in such a way as to prevent buckling of the tape. A superconducting cable can be formed by planetary winding a plurality of multi-filament superconductor wires.

    摘要: The invention provides a multifilamentary superconducting composite article comprising multiple substantially electrically decoupled domains, each including one or more fine, preferably twisted filaments of a desired superconducting oxide material. In a preferred embodiment, the article comprises a matrix, which substantially comprises a noble metal, a conductive jacketing layer surrounding the matrix, a plurality of discrete filament decoupling layers, each comprising an insulating material, disposed within the matrix to separate the matrix into a plurality of substantially electrically decoupled domains; a plurality of filaments, each comprising a desired superconducting oxide, which are disposed within and essentially encapsulated by the matrix and chemically isolated thereby from the decoupling layers, each of the electrically decoupled domains containing at least one filament. It provides multifilamentary articles that exhibit high DC performance characteristics and AC performance markedly superior to any currently available for these materials. A process and intermediate for making the article are also provided. The article may be manufactured by first, forming a composite intermediate comprising multiple domains, each including one or more fine, preferably twisted filaments of a superconducting oxide or its precursors and then thermomechanically processing the intermediate at conditions sufficient to produce at least one of the effects of texturing, crack healing and, if a precursor to the desired superconducting oxide remains, phase transformation in the filament material under conditions which support the electrical separation of the domains. Preferably, the forming step includes the step of providing filament decoupling layers comprising insulating materials or their predecessors to provide the desired domain separation and most preferably, the insulating material is formed in situ from its predecessor during the thermomechanical processing step. Oxide-forming predecessors are preferred, especially oxide forming materials selected from the group consisting of the transition metals, the alkaline earths, titanium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, aluminum, and their alloys. In a preferred embodiment, the desired superconducting oxide material is a member of the bismuth or yttrium families of oxide superconductors.

    摘要: A method of forming a textured superconductor wire includes constraining an elongated superconductor precursor between two constraining elongated members placed in contact therewith on opposite sides of the superconductor precursor, and passing the superconductor precursor with the two constraining members through flat rolls to form the textured superconductor wire. The method includes selecting desired cross-sectional shape and size constraining members to control the width of the formed superconductor wire. A textured superconductor wire formed by the method of the invention has regular-shaped, curved sides and is free of flashing. A rolling assembly for single-pass rolling of the elongated precursor superconductor includes two rolls, two constraining members, and a fixture for feeding the precursor superconductor and the constraining members between the rolls. In alternate embodiments of the invention, the rolls can have machined regions which will contact only the elongated constraining members and affect the lateral deformation and movement of those members during the rolling process.

    摘要: The combination of one or more high reduction drafts with controlled, low back tensions increases the range of deformation conditions over which dimensional tolerances and Je may be optimized. The method comprises the steps of: first, providing a precursor article comprising a metal matrix surrounding a plurality of filaments extending along the length of the article and comprising precursors to a desired superconducting ceramic; next, roll working the precursor article during a breakdown stage at a back tension less than the elastic to plastic transition threshold of the composite during at least one high reduction roll working draft, and, then, sintering the rolled article to obtain the desired superconducting ceramic. In a preferred embodiment, the rolling step further comprises rolling the article at a front tension less than the elastic to plastic transition threshold of the rolled, unsintered article.
