Properties of Ti alloyed multifilamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn wires by internal tin process

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6141024

Influence of Ti addition to the Sn core on the critical current density J/sub c/ of multifilamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn wires fabricated by the internal tin process was studied. The addition (approx. 1.5 wt % Ti) improved the values of J/sub c/ at very high magnetic fields over those for the pure Nb/sub 3/Sn, e.g., J/sub c/ approx. 140 A/mm/sup 2/ at 18 T. This is 3 to 4 times greater than a similarly processed pure Nb/sub 3/Sn wire and is within approx. 10% of the highest critical current density measured for the Ti alloyed bronze processed Nb/sub 3/Sn wires.
