SUBSTRATE FOR SUPERCONDUCTING WIRING, SUPERCONDUCTING WIRING AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a low-cost metal substrate which is resistant to high-temperature oxidation, has excellent strength, is non-magnetic and is ideal for a high-temperature superconducting wire to be used at or lower than liquid nitrogen temperature. Austenitic stainless steel containing 0.4 weight or more of nitrogen is used as the metal substrate for the superconducting wire. After heat treatment of 700 to 950° C. in the high-temperature superconducting layer formation step is carried out, the metal substrate has an extremely high 0.20 proof stress at liquid nitrogen temperature.
