Abstract :
Recent technical results are presented relating to the processing of superconductor wire by hydrostatic extrusion. Included are the reference processing sequence developed for the Nb3Sn system and a discussion of processing parameters affecting the formability and quality of tantalum barriers. In addition, a comparison of manufacturing costs for producing wire by conventional and hydrostatic extrusion is made. Finally, some aspects of transferring technology to industry are discussed.
