DEFINITION

Classification: 148/98

Producing or treating an A3B (e.g., Nb3Sn, V3Ga, Nb3Al, etc.) superconducting alloy:

(under subclass 96) Process wherein an intermetallic superconducting alloy having three parts of metal A to one part of metal B present, often identified as an A3B (e.g., Nb3Sn, V3Ga, Nb3Al, etc.), and said to have an A-15 crystal structure is produced or treated.

(1) Note. This subclass accepts implantation of another metal or element into the A3B structure.
