Abstract

With high efficiency and low energy loss, high-temperature superconductors (HTS) have demonstrated their profound applications in various fields, such as medical imaging, transportation, accelerators, microwave devices, and power systems. The high-field applications of HTS tapes have raised the demand of producing cost-effective tapes with long lengths in superconductor manufacturing. However, achieving the uniform performance of a long HTS tape is challenging due to the unstable growth conditions in the manufacturing process. In addition, the identification of parameters in the growth conditions that affect the uniformity of HTS tapes remains an unexplored question. To model and analyze the uniformity of HTS tapes, we develop a dynamic uniformity modeling framework that integrates the dynamic statistical uniformity measures and the vector autoregression analysis for identifying important process parameters associated with the tape uniformity. The proposed method is applied to real data from HTS tapes and the key process parameters, such as the tension and substrate temperature, are identified.
