Development of long superconducting tapes with improved engineering properties, produced by a green processing route

A new, scalable production technology is developed in view of the continuous manufacture of second-generation high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires with competitive production costs and improved performance. The key point resides in the simultaneous coating of both sides of the substrate, a development that will result in a near doubling of the engineering critical density. A demonstration pre-pilot plant will be built and tested with the goal of producing a 100m long wire.
