In this paper the use of the solid-solution alloy Cu-Mn as an interfilamentary matrix to eliminate proximity effect coupling in multifilamentary strands is reviewed and discussed. Eddy current measurements indicate that the presence of Mn does little to increase the transverse resistivity of the fine-filament composite, which is controlled primarily by interfilamentary size effect. The introduction of Ni into the strand, either as a replacement filament or an electroplated coating, can compensate for superconductor magnetization and assist in eliminating axial-field distortions in magnets wound from that strand.
