Rapid Solidification of Superconducting Materials.

Abstract

The effect of rapid solidification on superconducting materials was studied. A melt spinning apparatus was used to produce both amorphous and metastable crystalline materials. Their critical superconducting parameters temperature (TC), current density (JC) and magnetic field were studied as well as their mechanic properties. The alloys were rapidly quenched into the amorphous state. These were then annealed to from ultrafine grained A-15 tapes. The high Jc's were due to the extreme grain refinement. It should be emphasized that these tapes had the added advantage of being flexible.
