Industrial powder metallurgy processing for production of high field Nb3Sn

Creators

  • 1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (USA)

Description

Technology transfer is discussed for fabricating Nb3Sn(Ti) via powder metallurgy methods from laboratory scale production at MIT to industrial production at Supercon Inc. Industrial production techniques such as hydrostatic extrusion and drawing have produced superconducting wires with promising critical current densities in preliminary field measurements. Initial steps toward process modification and optimization to improve the commercial feasibility of the powder metallurgy process are evaluated. These modifications are aimed at reducing production time and increasing process flexibility
