"Al2O3 insulation coatings are grown on long-length stainless steel (SS) tapes using reel-to-reel sol-gel method for applications of HTS/LTS coils and magnets. Various ceramic solutions are prepared from Al based precursors, solvent and chelating agent, the coating are fabricated on SS substrates," investigators in Istanbul, Turkey report.
"Al2O3 solution was successfully obtained using Al-sec-butoxide precursor, and isopropanol and acetylacetone as solvent and chelating agents, respectively. In order to improve adhesion of Al2O3 on the SS-304 tapes, triethanolamine was used in the solution. The residual stresses are investigated at different temperature ranges, ...
