Summary

In the new heat treatment, niobium-tin filaments were formed by rapidly putting the wire into furnace kept at 675 deg C (rapid heating). In high fields, the critical-current density value at 12 T and at 4.2 K, for the rapid-heated wire was higher than that for the step-heated wire. The superconducting transition width of the rapid-heated wire was narrower. The niobium-tin composition ratio of the rapid-heated wire was nearer to the stoichiometry than those of the step-heated wire. It was suggested that internal tin was diffused more smoothly to niobium filaments by this rapid heating.
