Abstract :
In the development of RHQT-processed Nb3Al wires for high-field accelerator magnet applications, one of the major objectives is to increase the non-copper critical current density in the field range of 12-15 T. To pursue this goal, a low-matrix- ratio wire was fabricated, and the effects of the RHQ conditions and the area reduction after the RHQ treatment on the properties of the wire were investigated. This paper describes the details and results of this study.
