| Abstract Scope |
Practical superconductors are nothing but fiber reinforced metal matrix composites. Conventional superconductors are either composites of Nb-Ti fibers in a copper matrix or composites of Nb3Sn fibers in a copper matrix. The superconducting phase is the Nb-Ti or Nb3Sn fibers. The reason for making a copper matrix composite is to exploit the stability of the filamentary form. These two MMCs represent the largest application of MMCs in the world. In particular, the Nb-Ti based MMCs are used extensively in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this talk, I will describe the processing and properties of these composites. In addition, I will describe the high temperature superconductors which are also fiber reinforced MMCs. |
