Abstract

The A15 superconducting materials are intrinsically brittle, and special processing techniques must be used to form them into wires or tapes. A number of manufacturing techniques have been suggested for laboratory use or commercial application. These include bronze process [1,2], in situ process [3–6], infiltration method [7], chemical vapor deposition [8], powder metallurgical (P/M) process [9,10], and others [11,12]. Although considerable success has been obtained with these various manufacturing methods, they have the common drawback of being metallurgically elaborate and difficult to accomplish in practice.
