  • Superconductor with high volume copper
    Patent number: 5689875
    Abstract: Large amounts of stabilizing copper may be added to a superconducting core using an economical cladding process. One or more cladding strips of copper are bonded directly to the core without the use of a bonding agent. The copper cladding is fused to the core at a late stage in the fabrication of the superconductor by the simultaneous application of heat and pressure using conventional rolling apparatus. Multiple cladding layers may be sequentially applied to further increase the volume of copper present in the superconductor.
