Superconducting Properties of In Situ Prepared Nb-Cu-Sn Alloys

Alloys of Cu-20 wt% Nb have been prepared by a chill casting technique. After drawing to fine wire, Nb3Sn was formed by plating and diffusion of Sn. The critical-current properties and the resistance to degradation of critical current upon mechanical deformation both compare favorably to commercial...

Description
Summary:Alloys of Cu-20 wt% Nb have been prepared by a chill casting technique. After drawing to fine wire, Nb3Sn was formed by plating and diffusion of Sn. The critical-current properties and the resistance to degradation of critical current upon mechanical deformation both compare favorably to commercial Nb3Sn tape.
