Technical report on manufacture of Nb/sub 3/Sn superconducting wire by cold hydrostatic extrusion

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6722761· OSTI ID:6722761
Results indicate that the superconducting properties of Nb/sub 3/Sn wires could be improved by the use of hydrostatic extrusion. Billets with varying ratio of core to sleeve radius are being hydrostatically extruded and will be tested. The measured data will be compared with conventionally drawn wires.
