  • High-T.sub.c superconductor or precursor material for the oxide-powder-in-tube method (OPIT)
    Patent number: 6043198
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a high-T.sub.c superconductor as a precursor material for the oxide-powder-in-tube method, which involves mixing the oxides of the elements Bi, Sr, Ca and Cu and completely melting them at temperatures of .gtoreq.1000.degree. C., then casting the melt onto a substrate which is kept at room temperature, and disintegrating the cooled melt block and grinding it into a powder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2000
    Assignee: Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Marc Neubacher, Joachim Bock, Christoph Lang, Eberhard Preisler, Helga Weis
  • Process for prorducing thallium-containing high-T.sub.c superconductors in flowing gas atmospheres
    Patent number: 5801126
    Abstract: The process for producing high-T.sub.c superconductors containing thallium, calcium, barium and copper, possibly also lead and/or strontium, provides for a thallium-free precursor to be produced in a first reaction step and this to be then mechanically triturated, subsequently heated to temperatures in the range from 700.degree. to 950.degree. C. and heat treated for a period of at least 3 hours. The mixture is then cooled to ambient temperature and ground again. Finally, it is heat treated at temperatures of from 400.degree. to 500.degree. C. in a stream of pure oxygen. The thallium-free precursor is then triturated with Tl.sub.2 O.sub.3, if desired shaped into a shaped part and then oxidatively fired in a flowing gas atmosphere.

  • (Bi,Pb)SrCaCuO precursor material for the oxide powder in tube method (OPIT)
    Patent number: 5670434
    Abstract: Process for preparing a high-T.sub.c superconductor as a precursor material for the oxide-powder-in-tube method (OPIT). The present invention relates to a process for preparing a high-T.sub.c superconductor as a precursor material for the oxide-powder-in-tube method, which involves mixing the oxides of the elements Bi, Sr, Ca and Cu and completely melting them at temperatures of >1000.degree. C., then casting the melt onto a substrate which is kept at room temperature, and disintegrating the cooled melt block and grinding it into a powder.
