METHOD FOR PRODUCING LONG COMPOSITE CONDUCTORS AROUND HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING COMPOUNDS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; producing long conductors around superconducting compounds.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes formation of single-core billet by filling silver sheath with bismuth ceramic powder; deformation of this single-core billet to desired size by no-heating drawing at deformation degree per pass of 0.5 - 20%; cutting of deformed billet into measured parts; assembly of single-core billet by disposing desired quantity of measured parts of deformed single-core billet in silver sheath of multicore billet; extrusion of multicore billet at temperature ranging between 100 and 200 °C and at drawing coefficient of 4 to 30; air rolling without heating at deformation degree per pass of 1 - 50%; thermomechanical treatment including several heat-treatment stages at temperature of 830 - 860 °C for time sufficient to obtain phase of desired composition and structure in ceramic core with intermediate deformations between heat-treatment stages at deformation degree per pass of 5 - 30 %.

EFFECT: enhanced critical current density due to sequential packing of ceramic core; facilitated manufacture.
