Abstract

The development of new fabrication processes is essential for practical use of advanced superconductors. The powder metallurgy process has improved the fabrication of Nb3Al and PbMo6S8 wires. The continuous liquid quenching and laser beam irradiation techniques have been successfully applied to the synthesis of Nb3Al, Nb (Al, Ge), and Nb3Ga. The chemical vapor deposition process has increased reliability in the fabrication of Nb3Ge tapes. The sputtering process is useful for the synthesis of NbN with high superconducting performance. The composite process as well as the liquid quenching process is adaptable for the fabrication of V2(Hf, Zr) wires and tapes. The present status of the development of these fabrication processes is described.
