HIGH CRITICAL TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING ARTICLE WITH IMPROVED MECHANICAL STRENGTH

摘要

Disclosed are a superconducting article and a process for manufacturing such an article. The superconducting article comprises at least one core material including a superconductive material or one or more materials that are convertible into a superconductive material; at least one first matrix of a first material surrounding said at least one core material; at least one reinforcement matrix of a second material partially surrounding said first material; wherein said reinforcement matrix comprises at least one opening in a circumference of said reinforcement matrix, said opening allowing oxygen to reach the first matrix during at least one step of a manufacturing process of the superconducting article; and at least one third matrix of a third material surrounding said second material.
