Nb-Ti superconducting capillary tube

Overview of NbTi wire

The main applications of niobium-titanium alloy wire include high-field devices, high-performance conductors, maglev trains, nuclear fusion reactors, and medical equipment.

As an important superconducting material, niobium-titanium alloy wire possesses many unique physical properties and application advantages.

Nb-Ti superconducting wire

Firstly, it is widely used in high magnetic field devices. This is because niobium-titanium alloy superconductors have a high upper critical magnetic field and can maintain a superconducting state in a strong magnetic field environment, which is of great significance for scientific research and industrial applications that require high magnetic field strength.

In addition, niobium-titanium alloy wires can also be used to make high-performance conductors. Due to their excellent electrical conductivity and superconducting properties, niobium-titanium alloy wires perform well in transmitting electrical energy, reducing energy loss and improving the efficiency of power transmission.

In the field of maglev trains, the application of nitinol alloy wires is also indispensable. The operation of maglev trains relies on a powerful electromagnetic field.

As an superconducting material, nitinol alloy wires can transmit current with extremely low resistance, thereby providing a stable magnetic field and ensuring the smooth operation of maglev trains.

The nuclear fusion reactor is another technology that requires a high-intensity magnetic field. The superconducting properties of niobium-titanium alloy wires make them an ideal choice for constructing the magnetic body of the nuclear fusion reactor.

In the nuclear fusion reaction, the niobium-titanium alloy wires can withstand extremely high temperatures and strong magnetic fields, ensuring the stable operation and safety of the equipment.

Finally, nitinol alloy wires also play a significant role in medical devices, especially in medical imaging equipment that requires strong magnetic fields, such as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) machines and computed tomography (CT) scanners.

These devices rely on the strong magnetic fields provided by nitinol alloy wires for precise medical imaging diagnosis.

An overview of superconducting quantum interferometers

A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is an extremely sensitive instrument for detecting weak magnetic signals.
Its function is a magnetic flux sensor, which can be used to measure not only the change of magnetic flux, but also other physical quantities that can be converted into magnetic flux, such as voltage, current, resistance, inductance, magnetic induction intensity, magnetic field gradient, magnetic susceptibility, etc.

Application of superconducting quantum interferometer

Biomagnetic measurement: SQUID has been widely used in biomagnetic measurements (mainly cardiac magnetism and magnetoencephalography).
Nondestructive testing: SQUID, the most sensitive magnetic detector, can detect defects by means of magnetic anomaly.
Geodetic survey: SQUID has very high sensitivity, especially in low frequency band, so it has obvious advantages for deep mt measurement.
