A tenfold increase in critical current density was achieved by short heat treatments of Nb- Zr superconductors subjected to cold deformation. The two effects are additive, and the highest critical current densities are attained by the proper combination. Critical current density data for 72% Nb-28% Zr at 4.2 deg K are presented in graphical form. (L. N. N.)
