Abstract
The aim of the present work is of giving an overall view of the behaviour of the Nb3Al multilayered wire fed by an ac current in the presence of a constant external magnetic field as far as the losses are concerned. As previously described1 this wire is obtained by the so-called “jelly rolled method” and the A15 phase is promoted through a low-temperature thermal treatment; the final product is a filament consisting of irregular alternate sheets of Nb and Nb3Al that are both superconducting below the critical temperature and critical field of Nb. One can expect some changes in the properties of the ware when these critical parameters are exceeded. A previous work 2 was concerned with the effect of increasing temperature, this one deals with the influence on the critical current and on the losses of an external magnetic field B in the range O ⪕ B ⪕ 6T.
