The Institute of Physics and Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences said its researchers have developed an iron‑based alloy substrate for high‑temperature superconducting (HTS) tape, code‑named DW01, after more than three years of work. Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co. validated that HTS tapes produced with the DW01 substrate show key performance metrics markedly superior to conventional Hastelloy‑based substrates.

The Institute of Physics and Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences said its researchers have developed an iron‑based alloy substrate for high‑temperature superconducting (HTS) tape, code‑named DW01, after more than three years of work. Shanghai Superconductor Technology Co. validated that HTS tapes produced with the DW01 substrate show key performance metrics markedly superior to conventional Hastelloy‑based substrates. The institute said the result represents an important step toward domestic control of core HTS tape materials.
