  • Patent number: 6908691
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a metal strip for epitaxial coating with a biaxially textured layer, this metal strip, however, being able to be produced in an uncomplicated manner and having a high tensile strength, low magnetic losses and/or a high electrical conductivity. According to the invention, the metal strip is comprised of Nj, Cu, Ag or alloys thereof all serving as basic material, whereby the one-layer metal strip and, in the instance of a multilayer metal strip, at least one of its layers contains 10 nm to 5 ?m large, strength-increasing dispersoids comprised of carbides, borides, oxides and/or nitrides with a volume proportion ranging from 0.1 to 5%. In the instance of a multilayer metal strip, the layers form a composite, and at least one of the layers does not contain any dispersoids and has a biaxial texture. For the production, a starting material is used, which is comprised of Ni, Cu, Ag or of alloys thereof all serving as basic material and which contains 0.

  • Publication number: 20050026788
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metal strip made from a layer composite for epitaxial coating and a method for production thereof. The aim of the invention is to produce such a high-strength metal strip and a corresponding production method. Said metal strip is a layer composite made from at least one biaxially-textured base layer of the metals Ni, Cu, Ag or alloys thereof and at least one further metallic layer, whereby the individual further metallic layers are made from one or several intermetallic phases or from a single metal in which one or several intermetallic phases are contained. The production method is characterized in that the formation of intermetallic phases at the end of the production process is carried out by means of interdiffusion of elements provided in the layers. Such strips can be advantageously used, for example, as support strips for the deposition of biaxial textured layers made from YBa2Cu3Ox high temperature superconducting material.
