- Abstract
Results of a study of promising Nb3Sn superconductors fabricated with the use of a “bronze” method and a method of “internal source of tin” for toroidal coils of the magnet system of the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) are presented. The main structural parameters and factors of the process of manufacturing technical superconductors based on Nb3Sn, which determine the superconducting properties, are analyzed. The current-carrying capacity and the losses to hysteresis are determined for conductors with various diameters. The structure of the layer of superconducting Nb3Sn compound is studied, and the relation between the structural parameters and the superconducting properties of the developed conductors is described. Examples of Nb3Sn superconductors with a reinforcing element from a nanocomposite alloy Cu - 18% Nb are presented. Strength characteristics of the reinforced conductors are studied. Prospects of further enhancement of superconducting properties of Nb3Sn superconductors obtained by both methods are estimated.
