Superconducting wire is composed of superconductors such as niobium-titanium. It displays zero electrical resistance when cooled below its transition temperature. Currently, high temperature superconductors such as yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) tend to offer greater advantages over copper and aluminum such as higher maximum current densities and zero power dissipation. However, superconducting wire possess several disadvantages such as the cost of refrigeration of the wires to superconducting temperatures, problems associated with quenching of wire, and cost of wire materials and construction. Superconducting wire is widely utilized as superconducting magnets among scientific and medical equipment, where effects of high magnetic fields are necessary. High temperature superconductors (one of the type of superconducting wire) are composed of ceramic materials and majorly produced by two approaches such as First Generation (1G HTS) and Second Generation (2G HTS).
