Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionised the production of materials and components. This review article introduces superconductivity and conventional fabrication methods, then overviews the progress and advancements in AM techniques applied explicitly to superconductors. It discusses the challenges and opportunities of AM methods like laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), electron beam melting (EBM), and extrusion-based approaches, examining their potential to overcome the limitations of conventional methods. The article highlights the applications reshaped by the AM and includes case studies showcasing how AM enables complex geometries for advanced superconducting components. Finally, the review explores the potential directions for further research and development in this field, emphasising the need for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers, offering insights into the significant impact of AM on advancing superconductivity technology.

期刊介绍： Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
