Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A PROCESS OF PREPARING PURE NB3SN, COMPRISING MIXING TIN AND NIOBIUM POWDERS, THE QUANTITY OF TIN POWDER BEING ABOVE 30% BY WEIGHT OF THE MIXTURE; HEATING THE MIXTURE TO THE REACTION TEMPERATURE OF FROM 900 TO 1000* C. WHEREBY THE TIN MELTS; MAINTAINING SAID REACTION TEMPERATURE UNTIL ALL NIOBIUM HAS REACTED WITH THE MOLTEN TIN AND BEEN CONVERTED TO NB3SN; COOLING THE REACTION MASS FOR SO IDIFICATION; MECHANICALLY DISTINTEGRATING THE MASS TO POWDER; IMMERSING THE POWDER IN CONCENTRATED HYDROCHLORIC ACID WHEREBY NONREACTED TIN IS DISSOLVED, SEPARATING THE SOLID NB3SN FROM THE TIN CHLORIDE SOLUTION FORMED; RINSING THE NB3SN FROM THE TIN CHLORIDE SOLUTION HOL; DRYING THE NBRSN; AND SINTERING THE NB3SN IN AN INERT ATMOSPHERE AT A TEMPERATURE OF BETWEEN 900 AND 1300* C.
