Development of Single-Stacked Internal-Tin Nb$_{3}$Sn Superconducting Wire

Abstract

The internal-tin technique is an excellent method of fabricating Nb Sn superconducting wires with high critical current densities. We have developed an internal-tin Nb Sn wire in which the multi-filamentary wire is fabricated by assembling mono-filamentary Nb elements and mono-filamentary Sn elements. The simple fabrication process allows a reduction in the fabrication cost of the wires. By optimizing the spacing of the Nb Sn filaments, a 600 m long wire with a high critical current density of 400 A/mm at 18 T and no flux jumping was fabricated.
