Process for making filamentary superconductors using tin-magnesium eutectics

Description

This patent describes a filamentous structure exhibiting improved current carrying capability in a superconductive state. It comprises: after a heat treatment diffusion reaction, at least one filament of Nb3Sn in a bronze matrix wherein the Nb3Sn is produced in situ by diffusion of Sn from a SnMg eutectic into the locus of niobium-containing filaments in a copper matrix
