摘要

This study investigates the effect of artificial pinning centres using oxide dispersion strengthening (ODS) approach on the superconducting properties of the additively manufactured Nb47wt%Ti superconductor. Y2O3 nanoparticles are incorporated within the in situ alloyed Nb47wt%Ti powder and processed through laser powder bed fusion process. Laser parameters were optimised, and the optimal condition shows a microstructural density of 6.24 g/cm3, 0.35% porosity fraction, and 0.21% undissolved Nb fraction. The sample was heat treated for homogenisation and aged to precipitate -Ti pinning centres. Evidence from XRD peak shifts and literature comparison suggests the formation of Y2Ti2O7 artificial pinning centres, arising from the interaction of -Ti with Y2O3. The superconducting optimum condition shows a critical temperature of 8.4 K and a critical current density value of 2.51 kA/mm2 (at 4.2 K and 5 T).
