  • Publication number: 20230377775
    Abstract: A NbTi superconducting multicore wire includes a core portion and a first barrier layer arranged around the core portion and composed of a first copper alloy including at least one element selected from Ni or Mn. A filament assembly arranged around the first barrier layer includes NbTi filament assemblies each including at least seven NbTi filaments, embedded in a matrix of a second copper alloy including at least one element selected from Ni or Mn. A second barrier layer is arranged around the filament assembly and composed of the first copper alloy, and a stabilizing layer arranged around the second barrier layer and composed of metal. The NbTi filaments are arranged in circular shapes each having a different diameter, centering on one NbTi filament, and NbTi filaments arranged in a circular shape in an outermost circle being arranged at approximately equal intervals along a circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20230016999
    Abstract: A precursor for Nb3Sn single-core superconducting wire includes a Sn-based wire rod, a first Cu-based tube covering an outer circumferential surface of the Sn-based wire rod, an Nb-based tube covering an outer surface of the first Cu-based tube, and a second Cu-based tube covering an outer surface of the Nb-based tube. The Sn-based wire rod contains a matrix phase and at least one kind of hard phases that is harder than the matrix phase. In a cross section parallel to a longitudinal direction of the precursor for Nb3Sn single-core superconducting wire, a maximum dimension of the hard phases in a width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is 50% or less of a minimum dimension in the width direction of the Sn-based wire rod and/or is equal to or smaller than a minimum thickness in the width direction of the Nb-based tube.

  • Publication number: 20220005632
    Abstract: An insulation-coated compound superconducting wire includes a compound superconducting wire having a compound superconducting part which includes a first matrix and a plurality of compound superconducting filaments containing compound superconducting phases, a reinforcing part disposed on the outer circumferential side of the compound superconducting part and includes a plurality of reinforced filaments, a second matrix and a second stabilizing material. A stabilizing part is disposed on at least one side among the inner circumferential side and the outer circumferential side of the reinforcing part. An electrical insulation part covers the outer circumferential surface of the compound superconducting wire, in which the insulation-coated compound superconducting wire has a critical current value (Ic) larger than that of the compound superconducting wire before being covered with the electrical insulation part.
