Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a high temperature superconductor (HTSC) from a strip including an upper side precursor layer and which, for continuous sintering of the precursor layer within a furnace in the presence of a fed-in reaction gas, is drawn across a support. A furnace for performing the method is also described.
Claims16
A method of forming a high temperature superconductor in a furnace comprising:
- (a) providing at least one substrate having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface comprises a precursor layer;
- (b) receiving a porous support within the furnace;
- (c) drawing the at least one substrate through the furnace and across the porous support such that the second surface is positioned over the support;
- (d) feeding a reaction gas into the support to form a vortex zone above the precursor layer;
- and
- (e) continuously sintering the precursor layer in the presence of the reaction gas.
3 more elements
A sintering furnace comprising:
- a furnace having a furnace space;
- a porous support disposed within the furnace space, the porous support configured to support a substrate having an HTSC precursor layer;
- at least one inlet operable to direct reaction gas through the porous support;
- and
- at least one outlet operable to remove reaction gas from the furnace space.
