<p>An alloy capable of forming a (100) [001] cube-texture by thermo-mechanical techniques has 5-45 atomic percent nickel with the balance being copper. The alloy is useful as a conductive substrate for superconducting composites where the substrate is coated with a superconducting oxide. A buffer layer can optionally be coated on the substrate to enhance deposition of the superconducting oxide. The method for producing the alloy can include weighing the metal (101), melting and cooling the constituents (102). The alloy can include melted (103) and shaped (104). The alloy can then be mechanically deformed to a smaller size and recrystallize (105) then deformed in an axially manner (106) and planar deformation (107). The final step is heat treated (108).</p> |
