Summary

High-speed ground transport, ship propulsion, electrical power production, high sensitivity measurements, surgery, fusion reactors, mineral enrichment and pollution control are some of the applications where the use of commercial superconducting materials is now under research. It is now clear that the economical and technical feasibility of some of the developments listed above will only be made possible by the use of superconducting materials which will help to overcome the intrinsic limitations of normally employed techniques. This paper gives data on commercial materials presently available and those which are at the development stage, as well as major applications currently under research. Emphasis is made on the technological problems related to the reliable use of near zero Kelvin temperatures. Some data are also given on large scale undertakings in various nations, with indications of the more mature applications.
