Manufacture and Superconducting Properties of Bronze Processed Nb3Sn Monofilamentary Wires with Be Additions
In the previous reports [lā3], it was demonstrated that cold hydrostatic extrusion can be used effectively in manufacturing Nb3Sn superconductors by the bronze process.

Superconducting and Mechanical Properties of Cold Hydrostatically Extruded Monofilamentary Nb3Sn Wires
In the conventional bronze technique of manufacturing multifilamentary Nb3Sn superconducting wires (Fig. 1), a composite billet having niobium cores in a bronze sleeve is hot-extruded and drawn down to a rod. The...

How Effectively can Grain Boundaries Pin Flux Lines?
Some years ago, a theorist on flux pinning would have dismissed the idea that grain boundaries can pin fluxoids in type II superconductors, because the width of a grain boundary is usually much smaller than th...
