Effect of sintering temperature on the superconducting properties of mechanically alloyed Ru– and Y–doped Nb3Sn
The present work attempts to study the effect of sintering temperature on shaping the microstructure and its effects on the functional properties of Ru and Y-doped Nb3Sn superconducting bulk. Further, we have studied the effect of sintering time on grain size to understand its role in bulk densification and the basis for determining an optimized sintering time. The sintering temperature of 1200 °C resulted in higher bulk densification with a sintering time of 2 min as an optimum for desirable microstructural evolution for better functional properties for the doped Nb3Sn samples studied in this work. This study also indicates that the dopant yttrium has shown better functional properties than ruthenium-doped ones at higher applied field ranges due to the formation of additional flux pinning centers. This work also highlights the interplay between the grain size variation with sintering time and temperature and the resulting functional properties with suitable underlying reasons.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
