Abstract :
The Supercon APC process is briefly reviewed. Process parameters requiring optimization for commercial production are discussed. Issues involved in successful monofilament and multifilament billet size scale-up the APC process for HEP composites, nominally 6 /spl mu/m filaments and composite diameters <1 mm, are presented. The Supercon APC composite piece length and mechanical properties are excellent. The present best composite J/sub c/ results are presented.<>
