Nb-Al multifilamentary superconducting composites produced by powder processing

Abstract
Multifilamentary superconducting Nb‐Al composites were produced using powder processing with high overall critical currents Jc at high magnetic fields. A Nb–3 wt. % Al composite, reacted at 800 °C for 16 h, had Jc ≳104 A/cm2 at 14 T at 4.2 K. Jc was almost independent of strain for strains up to 1.3%.
