Summary

Railway Technical Research Institute has performed test runs of magnetically levitated vehicles (maglev) on the Miyazaki Maglev Test Track. Realization of a superconductive maglev system takes a lot of materials with various characteristics such as light weight, superconductivity, resistance to low temperature, thermal insulation, magnetic shielding, nonmagnetism, electrical insulation, weatherability, large-power conversion. Some aspects of these materials are presented.
