Abstract

Research and development activities and some recent results related to Nb 3Sn superconducting wires in Kobe Steel, Ltd. (KSL) and Japan Superconductor Technology Inc. (JASTEC) are introduced. First, an outline of the activities is described briefly from a historical point of view. Following that, improvements in the characteristics (i.e., critical current density ( J c), n-value and mechanical properties) of bronze-processed Nb 3Sn wires are reviewed. Finally, the status of development for the Ta–Sn powder-in-tube (TS-PIT) process is briefly discussed.
