  • Patent number: 11854717
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing high-temperature superconducting yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) wire by 3D-printing, this method is divided into the following four steps: firstly, preparing a nano-level superconducting powder precursor; and then, preparing a printing paste with suitable viscosity and supporting characteristics; after that, using a CAD 3D modeling, exporting STL format model data and slicing by a professional software; implementing one-step preparing strands with low AC loss by twisting the print nozzle. Finally, the printed twisted wire is formed into a practical superconducting twisted cable through the processes such as plastic removal process, crystallizing process, oxygen supplementing process and assembling process in order. The present disclosure firstly provides an application for applying high temperature superconducting material to direct ink writing 3D-printing technology.

  • Patent number: 8573064
    Abstract: A magnetic suspension supporter for a direct tension test apparatus, includes an upper end cap and a lower end cap for fixing a sample, an upper chain and a lower chain connected to the upper and lower end caps respectively, an upper joint and a lower joint connected to the other ends of the upper and lower chains respectively, the lower joint being fixed to the test machine foundation. In addition, the upper and lower end caps, the upper and lower chains, the upper and lower joints as well as the supporter having a common vertical axis and being arranged in a cascade form, characterized in that a sample supporter is arranged between the lower end cap and the test machine foundation. The sample supporter is composed of a pair of upper magnet provided at the underside of the lower end cap and lower magnet on the upside of the test machine foundation, which constitute two magnets structure. The polarity directions of the two magnets are reversed and the same polarity is arranged oppositely on the axis.
