 | | These technological achievements will advance the practicality of 2G wire by increasing its electrical and mechanical stability to meet commercial performance levels and contribute dramatically to the reduction of manufacturing costs, key to the commercialization of HTS wire products. |
 | | Greg Yurek, the company's chief executive officer, announced in a plenary speech at the DOE meeting that AMSC had successfully developed and demonstrated the first long lengths of 344 superconductor wire, a new 3-ply, 4.4-millimeter (mm) wide 2G HTS wire. |
 | | Derived from the world's first 80- to 100-meter-long, 4-centimeter (cm) wide strips of 2G HTS material, the first 344 superconductor wire was produced using AMSC's continuous reel-to-reel deposition processes. |
