Abstract

The sandwiching of YBa2Cu3O7-δ by two layers of continuous copper-coated carbon fibre Sn-Pb matrix composite was found to (i) increase the tensile and compressive strengths in the direction parallel to the fibres, such that both strengths increased with increasing fibre volume fraction, (ii) increase the resistance to thermal cycling between room temperature and 77 K and (iii) increase the stability in air. The sandwich composites were made by diffusion bonding at 110°C and 0.34 MPa, or by hot roll bonding at 240°C and 7.0 cm s-1.
