OUR CURRENT PRODUCTS

MgB2 superconducting wires and tapes

Our Company is manufacturing superconducting wires and tapes based on MgB2 compound in a variety of configurations and geometries. They are all available with typical wire unit length in the range of 1 to 5 Km, depending on the conductor shape. 

Flat tapes are superior in terms of bending properties, while round-square-rectangular wires present better behavior in a magnetic field, and they are more suitable for solenoidal winding of magnets.

Conductors can be designed and produced for use both in DC and AC condition. Fully non-magnetic sheathed conductors are also available on request. 

Wire twisting and insulation are also available on request.
