Jm. Seuntjens et al., HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS CONDUCTOR SCALE-UP PROGRESS OF THE SUPERCON ARTIFICIAL PINNING CENTER PROCESS, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(2), 1995, pp. 1185-1188
The Supercon APC process is briefly reviewed. Process parameters requi
ring optimization production are discussed. Issues involved in the suc
cessful monofilament and multifilament billet size scale-up the APC pr
ocess for HEP composite, nominally 6 mu m filaments and composite diam
eters < 1 mm, are presented. The Supercon APC composite piece length a
nd mechanical properties are excellent. The present best composite Jc
results are presented
