In various embodiments, superconducting wires incorporate diffusion barriers composed of Nb alloys or Nb—Ta alloys that resist internal diffusion and provide superior mechanical strength to the wires.

Diffusion barriers for metallic superconducting wires

In various embodiments, superconducting wires incorporate diffusion barriers composed of Ta alloys that resist internal diffusion and provide superior mechanical strength to the wires.

In various embodiments, superconducting wires incorporate diffusion barriers composed of Nb alloys or Nb&#x2014;Ta alloys that resist internal diffusion and provide superior mechanical strength to the wires.

In various embodiments, superconducting wires feature assemblies of clad composite filaments and/or stabilized composite filaments embedded within a wire matrix. The wires may include one or more stabilizing elements for improved mechanical properties.

Fabrication of reinforced superconducting wires

In various embodiments, metallic wires are fabricated by combining one or more powders of substantially spherical metal particles with one or more powders of non-spherical particles within one or more optional metallic tubes. The metal elements within the powders (and the one or more tubes, if present) collectively define a high entropy alloy of five or more metallic elements or a multi-principal element alloy of four or more metallic elements.

Fabrication of high-entropy alloy wire and multi-principal element alloy wire

In various embodiments, additive manufacturing is utilized to fabricate three-dimensional metallic parts using metallic alloy wire as a feedstock material.

Additive manufacturing utilizing metallic wire

Methods for treating texturized surfaces of sputter targets in order to improve adhesion and retention of deposited particles thereon. The target surfaces may first be texturized by a precursor texturizing method such as bead blasting, grit blasting, plasma spraying, or a twin-wire-arc spraying (TWAS) method. The thus textured surface is then sprayed or blasted with ice particles to form an optimized textured surface. The ice particles may comprise sublimable particles such as frozen carbon dioxide or dry ice. Also, argon may be used as exemplary ice particles.
