Hc2 at 4.2 KTcResistivity
Variation in Hc2 (4.2K data of Muller, 1987) and Tc (data of Moffat,1985) for single phase Nb-Ti. Hc2 is defined as the linear extrapolation ofthe high field pinning force (Fp) to zero (today would be defined as H*).

The morphology and locationof precipitation in coldworked Nb-Ti alloys isdetermined by the amountof cold work in themicrostructure. As the Ticontent is increased the coldwork required to produceoptimum -Ti (only at grainboundary intersections)increases. In thiscompilation of data (39, 40,44) optimum precipitation isdenoted by the symbol ,and mixed precipitatemorphology is denoted bythe letter m for heattreatment at 420 C. Thenumber 3 identifies wheremixed mode precipitationhas also been observed for375 C heat treatments.

TEM image in bright field, (a) and(b), and dark field using an -phasereflection, (c), of a Nb-54 weight% Ti alloy after precipitation heattreatment. The heat treatment wasapplied at a cold work prestrain of5 which is insufficient to avoid thedeleterious phase and or intra-granular Widmanstaetten -Tiforms of precipitation. In (a) themicrostructure is shown inlongitudinal cross-section with thedrawing axis running down the page.Images (b) and (c) are of the sametransverse cross-sectional areawith the dark field image bringingout contrast from the phase.

Bulk pinning force increases with drawing strain after the last heat treatment, asprecipitate size and spacing are reduced to less than a coherence length in thickness.The refinement of the microstructure with increasing strain for the same strand isshown schematically in transverse cross-sections with the a-Ti precipitates in black.

IIImIIIm. Summary for Nb-. Summary for Nb-TiTi Mature product (~3 Ton per day for MRI, ~60,000 km per
year) 1/3 ton billets without breaks
Cost ~$1/kA.m (Cu ~$20/kA.m) Large use for MR Imaging magnets Seems to be optimized now
Full summation of vortices against pins (15GN/m3), ~20% ofproximity-coupled pin in wire
But artificial pin arrays have yielded >40GN/m3 so there is someresidual uncertainty about the pinning mechanism
a particular point of uncertainty concerns vortex shape changeas it sits on a proximity-coupled -Ti precipitate
Anomalous phonons due to incipient BCCHCP transition arevital to developing the high Hc2 of Nb-Ti! Hc2 nTc, means 12T, not 6T!
