Abstract
We have produced so far about a 400 m length of Cu stabilized RHQT (rapid-heating, quenching and transformation) Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Al flat-wire using a small-sized multi-billet (10 kg). Although our goal is to make a 2.5 km unit length of Cu cladding flat-wire for high-field NMR uses, an attempt was made to fabricate a 1 km class unit-length of conductor as a milestone of commercialization. A long-length of precursor wire over 2.5 km was prepared by using a large-sized multi-billet (50 kg). A 1.3 km length RHQ operation by using a newly installed large-scale RHQ apparatus was performed and then a km-class length Cu cladded flat-wire was fabricated to evaluate the uniformity of resultant superconducting characteristics of wire
