Process for the production of superconductive metallic conductors

Abstract

Abstract A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A SUPERCONDUCTIVE METALLIC CONDUCTOR HAVING A STRIP-SHAPED FORM IN WHICH A PLURALITY OF RODS OF SUPERCONDUCTIVE MATERIAL ARE INTRODUCED INTO BORES IN PRESS BLOCKS MADE OF A STABILIZER MATERIAL. THESE BLOCKS ARE THEN PRESSED OUT INTO CONTINUOUS LENGTHS HAVING A SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR PROFILE. A FIRST GROUP OF THESE LENGTHS IS THEN DRAWN OR ROLLED TO PROVIDE A FIRST GROUP OF PROFILED WIRES HAVING RIBS ALONG OPPOSITE SIDES, A SECOND GROUP OF THESE LENGTHS IS SIMILARLY WORKED TO PROVIDE A SECOND GROUP OF PLROFILED WIRES HAVING GROOVES ALONG OPPOSITE SIDES, AND THE WIRES OF THE FIRST AND SECOND GROUPS ARE THEN JOINED TOGETHER ALTERNATION AND IN SIDE-BY-SIDE RELATION SUCH THAT THE RIBS AND GROOVES INTERCONNECT. THE JOINED TOGETHER LENGTHS ARE THEN WORKED AGAIN TO ESTABLISH THE FINAL PROFILE OF THE CONDUCTOR.
