Abstract
The authors examine the problem of high field (B>14 T) critical current increase in multifilamentary Nb3Sn bronze-processed superconductors by means of the optimization of phase forming annealing conditions and Zr, Ti, Ta, and hydrogen alloying. Optimization of phase-forming annealing conditions makes it possible to obtain multifilament nonalloyed conductors prepared by standard bronze technology with overall critical current density j c of 2-2.5×104 A/cm2 for a field of 14 T and 1-1.8×104 A/cm2 for a field of 16 T. Hydrogen atmosphere heat treatment leads to a rise of j c by 25-30% in the field of 14 T and by 50-80% in the field of 16 T. This allows the utilization of such wires in the development of magnet systems with field induction of ⩾15 T
