Volume samples production based on high temperature superconductor

摘要

The invention concerns a process for producing optimized melt-textured volume probes based on the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) for use in contact-less self-stabilizing magnetic bearings. The object of the invention is to suggest a process by means of which high-temperature superconductive materials of the initially mentioned composition can be mass-produced economically in an automated process whilst maintaining a high degree of dimensional accuracy.
