SuNAM’s RCE-DR (Reactive Co-Evaporation by Deposition and Reaction) process has been proved to be a high-throughput, cost-effective production method for the deposition of superconducting layer for coated conductor(CC). We showed that higher than 1 kA/cm-width critical current tape can be produced routinely, though our standard product comes with 700~800 A/12 mm-width only because we care for...
In order to overcome the narrower deposition windows and less longitudinal homogeneity for high in-field performance BaMO3 (M : Zr or Hf etc.) doped REBCO film, we applied hot-wall type pulsed-laser-deposition (PLD), which realized quite homogeneous crystalline growth conditions for REBCO by furnace-like substrate heating without spoiling productive throughput.
We studied growth...
Recently, in response to the growing demand on 2G HTS wire, both internal and external, the SuperOx group of companies has increased its production capacity, bringing it in 2018 to 120 km of 12 mm wide wire per year. Another incremental increase is planned in 2019.
As the fabrication technologies of 2G HTS wire have become more mature over the few last years, the key product development...
