Abstract :
A superconducting linear induction motor (SLIM) is being developed for steel-making processes using ultrafine filamentary NbTi wires. A SLIM can produce a strong magnetic field and large thrust in a wide gap. Applying SLIMs to a steel making plant could result in important innovations. A model of the SLIM has been made and tested. The model SLIM worked in a frequency range of 20-30 Hz. The feasibility of a SLIM as hardware has been demonstrated
