  • Patent number: 11437169
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stacking structure of a superconducting wire. The present invention provides a superconducting wire in which a metal substrate, a buffer layer, a superconducting layer, and a stabilizing layer are stacked, the superconducting wire including: a plurality of wedges which penetrates through the superconducting layer and the buffer layer to connect the stabilizing layer and the metal substrate. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide the superconducting wire of which mechanical strength is improved to have high resistance against to deterioration or delamination. Further, the present invention may provide the superconducting wire which is self-protectable against a quench phenomenon. Further, the present invention may provide the superconducting wire which is suitable for application of a high magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 10861626
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a superconducting coil having a structure in which an insulation layer electrically insulates the space between adjacent wound wires. The present invention provides a superconducting coil in which superconducting wires extended at a predetermined width in a lengthwise direction are stacked and wound, the superconducting coil comprising a metal-insulator transition (MIT) material layer interposed so as to electrically insulate space between adjacent superconducting wires in the stacking direction of the superconducting wires. According to the present invention, provided is a superconducting coil having high stability, and easily controlling electromagnetic properties including response properties and having a self-protective function against a quench phenomenon and the like during the driving of a magnet.

  • Patent number: 10629332
    Abstract: Provided is a low-temperature superconducting wire having a low stabilizing matrix ratio. The present invention provides a superconducting wire including: a low-temperature superconducting filament; a stabilizing Matrix encompassing the filament; and a sheath of a Metal-Insulator Transition (MIT) material, which encompasses the stabilizing matrix on the exterior of the stabilizing matrix. According to the present invention, a low stabilizing matrix ratio is achieved while coping with heat caused by a quench phenomenon, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and achieving a high current density.

  • Patent number: 10319500
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a superconducting wire material having a laminated structure. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a laminated superconducting wire material, comprising the steps of: providing a deposition substrate having a predetermined width; sequentially forming, on the deposition substrate, a laminated structure including a buffer layer, a superconducting layer and a stabilization layer, thereby forming, on both sides of the deposition substrate, regions in which a metal substrate is exposed in the width direction; providing a lamination substrate, having a width corresponding to the deposition substrate, to the laminated structure; and providing solder to the regions, in which the metal substrate is exposed, to thereby bond the deposition substrate and the lamination substrate.
