Revolutionary Power Hardware
Second generation high temperature superconductors are thin film conductors that can carry high current under the right temperature and magnetic field conditions. ASM is developing the process, equipment, and systems engineering needed to make that performance repeatable and usable.
Process Development
Manufacturing
ASM is pursuing a staged manufacturing pathway. Initial process work focuses on proving conductor performance and repeatability. Subsequent equipment design would adapt the process for continuous tape handling and deposition.
A commercial conductor must meet more than a laboratory current measurement. Customers need consistent long lengths, robust joints and terminations, quality records, dependable supply, and economics that hold at useful scale.

Validation Sequence
A superconducting power link can carry large current in a compact path. For data center or grid use, it must also work as a complete electrical system with cryogenic equipment, terminations, protection, monitoring, maintainable interfaces, and an installation plan. ASM is developing sPipe concepts around these system needs.
Superconducting magnetic energy storage stores energy directly in a magnetic field and can respond rapidly to load changes. ASM is evaluating applications in which high power and short duration response are more important than many hours of stored energy. System design includes the coil, cooling, converter, controls, and safety architecture.
Process proof → repeatable conductor data → continuous manufacturing design → component qualification → pilot integration. Advancement between stages depends on technical results, funding, partners, and customer requirements.
