Description
This talk will review the status of 2G HTS wire production and integration at SuperOx, with an emphasis on the recent facility expansion at the Moscow location.
As of January 2017, full production cycle of 2G HTS wire has been established at SuperOx in Moscow. This includes the commissioning of a new buffer deposition line in January 2016 and of a new PLD-HTS deposition system in December 2016. These new facilities were installed in addition to the similar existing production facilities at SuperOx Japan LLC, which remain in operation. The expansion essentially doubled 2G HTS wire production capacity of the SuperOx group of companies. The wire produced at both locations is of identical high quality.
We will also present an overview of our industrial R&D programmes run in parallel with wire production, which are aimed at improving the wire performance in magnetic field, optimising buffer layer architecture, expanding the range of customisation options, etc.
In addition to the HTS material production, SuperOx has been developing HTS devices such as cables, fault current limiters, coils, rotating machines, current leads, and 2G HTS composite bulk. Examples of the SuperOx HTS device activities will be given in the talk.
