FAQs

Q1: What is Nb3Sn superconducting wire?

Nb3Sn superconducting wire is a high-performance material derived from a niobium-tin alloy that demonstrates superconductivity—conducting electrical current without resistance—at low temperatures.

Q2: What are the main applications of Nb3Sn superconducting wire?

Nb3Sn wires are utilised in MRI and NMR machines, particle accelerators, fusion reactors, high-energy physics detectors, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems, superconducting generators and motors, quantum computing, maglev trains, and high-field research magnets.

Q3: What are the advantages of using Nb3Sn over other superconducting materials?

Nb3Sn exhibits a higher critical temperature (18 K) and magnetic field strength (25 T) than other superconductors such as NbTi, making it suitable for applications necessitating high magnetic fields and temperatures above 4.2 K (liquid helium temperature).
