Scientific Applications

A proven partner upon which research institutions depend

Scientific research have developed technologies that have later enabled breakthrough in healthcare and industry. One of these technologies is superconductors that serve today in MRI scanners and particle accelerators in cancer treatment that improve human life.

Luvata has been producing Niobium-based superconducting wires and cables for nearly 50 years and we are the world's leading producer of copper niobium-titanium based superconducting wire.

Over three decades we have participated in internationally renowned large-scale projects such LHC particle accelerator in CERN, fusion reactor ITER, light source project XFEL in Hamburg and many more involving Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS), hollow conductors and OFE high purity oxygen-free copper. As a result of this unmatched experience, we are recognized around the world as a leader in the development and manufacture of these specialist products.

Unleashing the power within fusion energy

For decades, Luvata has been a trusted partner for businesses and researchers in the fusion energy industry. We are proud to have contributed to projects like ITER and are currently working with companies, institutes, and researchers all around the world. We are part of Finnfusion, which is community encompassing all Finnish players in fusion energy business, technology and science, and European Fusion Business Association.

Our oxygen-free copper and copper alloy products are used in fusion reactors and other high-tech devices due to their properties like high purity, heat removal and recovery, high conductivity, temperature resistance and strength. We offer customized products from copper and copper alloys such as Superconductors, OFE Oxygen-free copper products and Hollow conductors.
