Abstract
Compressive stresses arising from differential contraction of the bronze matrix were found to cause an increase in the critical temperature, Tc, of bronze‐processed V3Ge. This unusual behavior for an A‐15 compound is in qualitative agreement with Testardi’s theory, although the enhancement of Tc does not increase parabolically with strain and saturates at strains of ∼0.5%.Keywords
