Cross-section of the Nb3Sn superconducting wire developed this time Hitachi Cable is announcing the successful development of a niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) superconducting wire*1 with about 1.5 times higher critical current density*2, achieved through the use of an internal-tin process*3 and single-stacking structure. Nb3Sn superconducting wires are widely used for superconducting magnet systems generating strong magnetic fields […]

Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. has recently started the production of HT-CA DI-BSCCO high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire for the AmapaCity HTS cable project in Germany. The AmapaCity HTS cable project is funded partly by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, and led by a German utility company RWE Deutschland, HTS cable manufacturer Nexans, […]

Inventories of steel and iron ore have decreased since the beginning of September. The price of steel wire rod futures has increased by 10 percent, but the market is still far from a turning point. Latest figures show that up to Oct. 19, inventories of iron ore at 30 major ports are 90.01 million tons, […]
