In recent years, world-wide research efforts have been made to develop YBCO coated conductors for highsuperconductor application in large scale devices.

High purity NiCrW and NiCrV alloys were prepared by plasma arc furnace and the (0 0 1)[1 0 0] low thickness tapes were formed by recrystallization after heavy cold rolling.

Abstract
In recent years, world-wide research efforts have been made to develop YBCO coated conductors for highsuperconductor application in large scale devices. Since the demonstration of the rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) route as a viable approach for the production of long HTS tapes, much work has been directed towards the development of new metallic substrates for high critical current densities coated conductors. The present work is focused in development of novel non- magnetic, high oxidation resistance, biaxially textured Ni based alloys. High purity NiCrW and NiCrV alloys were prepared by plasma arc furnace and the (0 0 1)[1 0 0] low thickness tapes were formed by recrystallization after heavy cold rolling. The microstructure of the tapes was investigated by and pole figure X-ray analysis. The strength of the tapes was measured by stressstrain curves and thermogravimetric analyses were carried out to study oxidation properties of these alloys. The surface morphology of oxidised tapes has been studied by optical and SEM microscopy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
