B: SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS INC - Receives Grant to Develop Advanced
Manufacturing Method for HTS Wire
Vancouver, BC, Aug 08, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) --
Superconductive Components, Inc. announced it has received a $300,000 Phase IIB
Small Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") grant from the National Science
Foundation. The purpose of this grant is to develop an advanced method to
manufacture continuous reacted lengths of High Tc Superconductor: Bismuth
Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide ("BSCCO")-2212 Wire.
This SBIR program will focus on the development of a cost-effective long length
multi-filamentary Bi-2212/Ag alloy round wire. Upon successful completion of the
program, it is anticipated that the Bi-2212 conductor will be cost competitive
with Nb3Sn and also achieve superior performance at high magnetic fields. The
company is working with Oxford Instruments, Superconducting Technology ("OST"),
a division of Oxford Instruments plc, to optimize the superconductive wire
fabrication process. OST is the global market leader in the manufacture of low
temperature superconductors. They maintain an active development effort and also
provide service support for Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems throughout North
and South America.
Superconductive Components, Inc. manufactures advanced ceramics such as
superconductors, ferroelectric and optical materials for use in wire, cable,
sensors, batteries, wireless and fiber optics systems. The Company's wholly
owned subsidiary, Target Materials, Inc., manufactures thin film materials for
photovoltaics, flat panel displays, electronic switches, hardness and decorative
coatings. The Company is a global materials supplier with clients in more than
40 countries. Additional information is available at:
