Coated conductors (CCs) of YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) have emerged as the most attractive opportunity to reach unique performances for large scale superconducting power applications and high field magnets, though reducing the cost/performance ratio continues to be a key objective at present. It is still particularly necessary to develop faster growth in order to increase the CC throughput....

Mr Mikhail Novozhilov (Metal Oxide Technologies LLC)22/07/2019, 16:50Invited Oral Presentation
YBCO based 2G HTS wires are being manufactured at MetOx on pilot production scale at this time with the ultimate goal of providing the industry with high performance and low-cost wires for magnet and cable applications. MetOx uses IBAD/MOCVD process and currently coats 12 mm wide tape. At this time MetOx wires have 50 m single piece length and 77K/SF Ic of 400-500A. Two different recipes have...

1144. M1Or3B-04 [Invited]: Progress in scale up of thick-film 2G-HTS with artificial pinning centersProf. Goran Majkic (University of Houston)22/07/2019, 17:15Invited Oral Presentation
Dramatic improvement in in-field performance of thick 2G-HTS tapes has been recently achieved in >4 m thick REBCO films over a wide range of field and temperatures, as demonstrated by the resulting engineering current densities, JE, of over 15 MA/cm2 at 30 K, 3 T and over 5 kA/mm2 (0.5 MA/cm2) at 14 T, 4.2 K, which is over five times higher than that of Nb3Sn. The ability to control film...

Venkat Selvamanickam (University of Houston)22/07/2019, 17:40Invited Oral Presentation
The University of Houston and AMPeers have developed round REBCO wires of 1.3 to 1.9 mm in diameter that can retain nearly 100% of its critical current even when bent to a radius of 15 mm. Such a small bending radius is a requirement of canted cosine theta coils that are being developed for accelerator magnets. Such small diameter wires and excellent bend strain tolerance have been made...
