Department of Energy. publisher: Argonne National Laboratory date: 2002-05-02 language: English description: Most large-scale applications of high-critical-temperature superconductors will require wires or tapes that can carry large current in applied magnetic fields. This report describes research and development efforts at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) aimed at producing practical superconducting components and devices using the Y-Ba-Cu-O and Bi-(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O systems. Topics discussed include various methods of forming second- and first-generation composite conductors, characterization of their structures and superconducting and mechanical properties, modeling of grain-boundary current transport, and the testing and modeling of a superconducting fault current limiter. subject: Mechanical Properties subject: Magnetic Fields subject: Calcium Oxides subject: Lead Oxides subject: 36 Materials Science subject: 24 Power Transmission And Distribution subject: Performance Testing subject: Current Limiters subject: Barium Oxides subject: Strontium Oxides subject: High-Tc Superconductors subject: Bismuth Oxides subject: Copper Oxides subject: Yttrium Oxides source: Other Information: PBD: 2 May 2002 type: Report format: vp. format: Text identifier: rep-no: ANL-02/03 identifier: grantno: W-31-109-ENG-38 identifier: doi: 10.2172/795893 identifier: osti: 795893 identifier: https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc737902/ identifier: ark: ark:/67531/metadc737902
