Measurement of the superconducting transition temperature of Dural and titanium 6Al-4V alloys

| Summary: | We have measured the superconducting transition temperatures of commercial alloys Dural and titanium 6Al-4V, to assess their suitability for use in the cryoEDM neutron electric dipole moment experiment. Our sample of aluminium alloy Dural became a superconductor at 0.84 0.07K but the titanium alloy did not show any superconducting behaviour down to the experimental limit of 0.17 0.11K. © IOP Publishing Ltd. |
