Description

This paper reports on the commercial specification of superconducting NbTi and Nb3Sn composite wires normally given by a few numbers: Ic (ρ,B,T), n, RRR, wire and filament diameter and twist length. To some extent their values cannot be chosen independently, nor do they guarantee proper operation of the system in all aspects, for instance fields in dipoles for accelerators. For Nb3Sn composites, depending on the production process, an extra set of parameters describing the stress sensitivity seems to be needed to specify the quality of the composite
