Fabrication Techniques and Properties of Multifilamentary Nb sub 3 Sn Conductors

摘要

Various processing techniques for multifilamentary Nb sub 3 Sn and V sub 3 Ga are reviewed. The critical current of commercially produced Nb sub 3 Sn wires manufactured by both the bronze and external diffusion techniques are compared. Critical currents for in situ and powder processed Nb sub 3 Sn are also included. New developments which promise improvements in J/sub c/ are discussed. (ERA citation 06:002705)
