Abstract
Problems of manufacturing wires for the ITER magnetic system are considered. Results for Nb3Sn wires 0.80-0.85 mm in dia. manufactured using bronze technology under commercial conditions are given. Wires containing up to 45,000 filaments with volume fractions of copper stabilizer up to 56%, chromium coatings 2 mm thick and having critical current densities (non-Cu) up to 650 A/mm2 (12T, 4.2K) are discussed. Wires with extended tin sources and volume fractions of copper stabilizer equal to 60% are investigated. Jc (non-Cu) for such wires 0.85 mm in dia. reaches 1000 A/mm2 (12T, 4.2K) with hysteresis losses <550 mJ/cm3
