@article{PATENT, recid = {8643}, title = {Near net shape processing of continuous lengths of superconducting wire}, number = {PATENT}, month = {Aug}, year = {1997}, abstract = {A system and method for mechanically forming a ceramic superconductor product. A system for making the ceramic superconductor includes a metallic channel portion having a cross section for receiving a ceramic superconductor powder, a roll to mechanically reduce the channel cross section and included superconductor powder and a cap portion welded to the channel portion using a localized high energy source. The assembled bar is then mechanically reduced to form a tape or wire end product.}, url = {http://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/8643}, }
