ALLOY MATERIALS

摘要

An alloy having a cube textured substrate is disclosed. The alloy includes t wo different metals. The alloy can be used as a substrate for a superconductor. Optionally, one or more buffer layers can be disposed between the substrate and the superconductor material. The alloy can be prepared using a process that includes rolling the alloy and annealing the alloy. The alloy can have a relatively large volume percent that is formed of grains with cube texture. The figure is a block diagram illustrating the process of forming a cube- textured alloy substrate.
