The influence on superconducting properties by alloying Nb/sub 3/Sn with an alloyed Sn core in internal-tin-processed multifilamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn wires was investigated for alloying elements, Mg, Ni + Zn, and Ti. The results indicate that the critical current densities, J/sub c/ of the Mg, Ni, and Ni + Zn-alloyed wires were essentially identical to or less than those for the unalloyed control wires although small amounts of Mg, Ni and Zn were found in the Nb/sub 3/Sn filaments. However, additions of Ti increased the J/sub c/ of the wire considerably at intermediate as well as very high-magnetic fields. Results of detailed characterization of these wires for superconducting and metallurgical properties will be reported. 22 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
