In order to achieve the highest field performance for SSC magnets, superconducting wires with small filaments have been required. Superconducting wires with filament size of 1 about3 microns having excellent critical current densities have been already developed. For instance, a NbTi alloy superconducting wire with a filament size of about five micron achieved Jc about2.8 X 105 A/cm2 at 5T and 4.2K. A Nb3Sn compound superconducting wire with a filament size of about one micron also performed Jc about2.3 X 105 A/cm2 at 8T and 4.2K. This paper attempts to clarify and propose standard Nb-50 wt% Ti alloy and multifilamentary bronze Nb3Sn configurations of interest to SSC magnet desigenres.
