  • Composite superconducting fiber
    Patent number: 4849288
    Abstract: A superconducting fiber of a superconducting fiber bundle includes a carrier fiber having an outer surface, and superconducting layers and separating layers alternatingly surrounding the outer surface of the carrier fiber and a method for producing the same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 1986
    Date of Patent: July 18, 1989
    Assignees: Brown, Boveri & Cie. AG, Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH
    Inventors: Franz Schmaderer, Georg F. Wahl, Cord-Heinrich Dustmann, Erich Fitzer, Karl Brennfleck, Manfred Dietrich
  • Superconducting fiber
    Patent number: 4585696
    Abstract: A superconducting fiber of a superconducting fiber bundle, in which a base layer of a carbide or oxide is applied to the outer surface of a carrier fiber and subsequently a superconducting layer is deposited on the base layer to which the superconducting layer adheres.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 1984
    Date of Patent: April 29, 1986
    Assignees: Brown, Boveri & Cie AG, Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH
    Inventors: Cord-Heinrich Dustmann, Georg Wahl, Franz Schmaderer, Erich Fitzer, Karl Brennfleck, Manfred Dietrich, Lienhard Paterok
  • Method of forming a heat-barrier layer on a metal substrate
    Patent number: 4540606
    Abstract: A method for the application or impregnation of a highly adherent heat-barrier layer on a metal substrate comprising effecting chemical vapor-phase deposition of zirconium dioxide as a heat-barrier layer with infiltration by finely granular zirconium dioxide in a metal felt. The vapor-phase deposition with infiltration of the metal felt can take place, in particular, from zirconium chloride, preferably within a temperature range between 550.degree. C. and 750.degree. C.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 10, 1985
    Assignee: MTU Motoren-und Turbinen-Union Munchen GmbH
    Inventors: Erich Fitzer, Karl Brennfleck, Jurgen Schlichting, deceased
  • Process for the production of a flexible superconductor
    Patent number: 4299861
    Abstract: A process for the production of a flexible superconductor comprising a carbon fiber having thereon a layer of niobium carbonitride, and an outer layer of a highly conductive metal. Initially, niobium is deposited on the fiber, and the niobium-coated fiber is then exposed to gaseous sources of carbon and nitrogen while the temperature is subsequently raised.
