Luvata has been producing niobium-titanium (NbTi)-based superconducting wires and cables for nearly fifty years. We are the world\'s leading producer of special copper and low-temperature superconducting (LTS) wire and cable for many applications.

Luvata has also been making niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) composite wires for several decades. Luvata\'s niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) wires are made via our unique internal-tin (IT) process and specifically designed for a variety of high field applications including fusion and high energy physics.

Luvata supplied advanced and high quality Nb3Sn conductors in mass production scale starting in 1990 for the ITER Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) program. The ITER CSMC program was one of the most significant steps forward in fusion technology.

Our superconducting wires are generally designed with specific application in mind and their features vary widely among the different products offerings. Our products range from wires with single superconducting filament to thousands of fine filaments.

The more we discover about superconductors, the more they will touch our lives. And Luvata expects to remain at the forefront of future expansions into the burgeoning fields of MRI and NMR imaging, high energy physics, fusion energy development, levitating trains, power transmission, energy storage, silicon crystal growers for computer parts, and proton beam therapy for cancer treatment.
