这项研究旨在开发一种可靠的制造工艺，以制造能够在零场下携带电流密度在10,000安培/平方厘米数量级、在一个特斯拉磁场中至少携带1,000安培/平方厘米的精细超导软线。这项研究包括加工问题，包括控制工程材料韧性的参数，热机械处理对电流密度的作用，以及对关键材料微观结构参数及其与加工程序的关系的理解。这项研究将获得材料设计和材料加工操作的备受追捧的特点，以产生优化(超导)性能的微结构。

This research is aimed at developing a reliable manufacturing process to fabricate fine superconducting, flexible wires capable of carrying current densities in the order of 10,000 amperes/square centimeters under zero field and at least 1,000 amperes/square centimeters in one Tesla magnetic field. The research encompasses processing issues, including the parameters controlling toughness of the engineered material, the role of thermomechanical treatment on current density and the understanding of the critical material microstructural parameters and their relationship to the processing procedures. The much sought after characteristic of design of materials and materials processing operations to produce microstructures for optimized (superconducting) performance will be obtained from this research.
