Handbook on Materials for Superconducting Machinery

Abstract

Abstract : The major objective of this Handbook is to present data that could be used in the development of new concepts in superconducting machinery. Information was collected on the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties of selected structural materials for designers and users of equipment that will be exposed to cryogenic temperatures. The data are presented as 'best-value' numbers from compilations of data in the temperature range 0 - 300K. Materials include Al and Al alloys, Cu alloys, Ni alloys, Nb alloys, Ti alloys, and steels.
