Niobium Titanium Wire Stock Supply

Introduction of Niobium Titanium Wire

• Composition:
  • Composed of niobium and titanium metals.
  • Industrial production typically includes 20% to 60% titanium by weight.
  • Superconducting alloys generally contain 46% to 50% titanium by mass.
• Production Process:
  • Sintering: Mixed powders are sintered.
  • Melting: Electrodes made of niobium and titanium sheets are melted multiple times in a vacuum arc furnace or electron beam furnace to create alloy ingots.
  • Forging: Alloy ingots are hot-extruded or hot-forged into bars.
  • Heat Treatment: Bars undergo heat treatment.
• Assembly:
  • Bars are combined with oxygen-free copper in a sealed sheath.
  • The assembly undergoes multiple cycles of extrusion, cold working, and heat treatment.
• Final Product:
  • NbTi-Cu-CuNi wires of the required diameter.
  • Wires are fabricated into various sizes of stranded cables, braided tapes, or hollow conductors.
  • These form a composite of NbTi-Cu-CuNi multifilamentary wires, usable as niobium-titanium superconductors.

Specification

• Niobium-titanium alloy wires are classified based on their diameter.
• Typical diameters range from 0.1 millimeters to 3 millimeters.
• Common specifications include 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm.
• Different diameter wires are used for different applications.
• Users can select the appropriate specifications according to their specific requirements.
