Abstract
A production program is underway at IGC Advanced Superconductors, Inc. to produce 1200 kg of internal tin wire for the high field test facility (HFTF) upgrade which is to be constructed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).The details of the conductor design and the manufacturing process are presented. The niobium filaments are doped with 1% Titanium in order to optimize the high field current density. Representative samples from the initial production wire were reacted and their superconducting properties measured at magnetic fields from 3 to 20 Tesla. The details of the reaction heat treatment and critical current density JC will be presented.
