PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE OF SUPERCONDUCTING CONDUCTOR Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: manufacture of superconducting wires. SUBSTANCE: process is intended for manufacture of conductor composed of metal sheath, buffer layer and superconducting core. Material of sheath is metal or alloy capable of effect of hydrogen plasticizing, material of buffer layer is compound poorly reacting with material of material of core, hydrogen and oxygen, core is produced from oxide compound capable of high-temperature superconductivity. Process involves hydrogenation of sheath, assembly of semi-product with formation of buffer layer, plastic deformation of semi-product and dehydrogenation of sheath of superconducting conductor. EFFECT: high current-carrying capability of superconducting conductor, its reduced as conductor has no such expensive materials as silver.
