A method for manufacturing a superconductor is described. A metal assembly precursor can be formed within a hollow copper support element. Forming the metal assembly precursor within a hollow copper support element by positioning a plurality of conductor elements about a core including Sn to provide a first plurality of inner interstitial spaces between the plurality of conductor elements between the core and conductor elements and a second plurality of outer interstitial spaces between the hollow copper support element and the core, the plurality of conductor elements including unreacted Nb. The metal assembly precursor can be reduced via cold drawing to produce a reduced metal assembly. The reduced metal assembly can be reaction heat treated so that the unreacted Nb undergoes a phase transformation to a reacted superconductor.

Methods for manufacturing a superconductor

A method and system for manufacturing a superconducting material is described. In one embodiment, a layer of refractory cushion is placed over a spool. A first layer of superconducting cable is wound over the first layer of refractory cloth. The superconducting cable is reaction heat-treated on the spool. A first layer of refractory fabric can be placed over the layer of refractory cushion. One or more adjustment mechanisms can be disposed between the first layer of the superconducting cable and the spool.

Methods and systems for preparing superconductors for reaction and integration

A light-weight, aluminum core, multi-stabilized, superconducting wire. The superconducting wire has NbTi superconducting filaments embedded in a normal stabilizing copper metal matrix that encapsulates an aluminum central core.
