Abstract

A key technology for achieving commercial Nb$_3$Sn superconducting wires may be driven from fabrication Process of big-scale billets. Sub-element billet with diameter of 200 mm was designed and fabricated. This billet was hot-extruded and drawn. Cu stabilizer tube, Nb barrier tube and 19 sub-elements inserted Sn core were composed for strand. There was no breakage in the strand that was constituted with annealed sub-element. It was need that billet had to treat HIP because of remove of voids and goad contact between Cu and Nb filaments. Ta wound sheet was better than Ta tube thor barrier in the strand. Ic of the Nb$_3$Sn wire at 127, 4.2K was over than 120 A.
