Nb₃Sn/RRP^TM

The very best high field performance attainable in Nb₃Sn is provided by OST’s RRP wire.  A focused  development effort over the last 10 years has resulted in a 3-times increase in critical current density at 20 tesla in this wire.  This performance has enabled two world-record setting magnets: a 950 MHz NMR magnet, and a 16 tesla dipole magnet.

OST has now scaled up this state-of-the-art conductor to commercial production.  For applications demanding the very best high field performance, RRP may provide the most cost effective conductor.  A sampling of commercially available standard size and performance is shown in the data table.  Higher performance material is available for some applications, inquiries are welcome.
