Abstract :
Synchrotron absorption tomography has been applied for the study of voids formed during the thermal treatment of internal tin Nb3 Sn strands. Possible void formation mechanisms and in particular the effect of Sn phase transformations and melting are discussed based on a quantitative void description. Sn melting changes mainly the shape and volume of the individual voids but does not increase the total void volume in the strand
