       <abstract>
          Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) is developing bellows with the strength and flexibility of stainless steel and the low surface impedance of a superconductor. Such unique bellows would enable alignment of SRF cavity sections with greatly reduced RF losses. To that end, we grow Nb thin films via Coaxial Energetic Deposition (CED) from a cathodic arc plasma. Films of Nb were grown on stainless steel bellows, with and without an intermediate layer of Cu deposited via the same technique, to produce a working bellows with a well adhered superconducting inner layer. The Nb coated bellows have undergone tests conducted by our collaborators to evaluate their RF performance.
