Description

Superconducting Nb-Zr alloy with a zirconium content of up to 3 wt.% was prepared by a combination of arc and electron zone melting. First, the Nb-Zr master alloy with 1 wt.% Zr was prepared in a horizontal arc furnace under an argon atmosphere. This master alloy was remelted several times to achieve the highest possible homogeneity of samples. The Nb-Zr ingot was then remelted through two zone passes on equipment for high-vacuum electron zone melting. Samples were taken of the Nb-Zr alloy and a metallographic analysis was made. (E.S.)
