Popis: Model fine filament superconducting 0.65 mm wire based on NbTi alloy, intended for operating in fields having sweep rate from 1 up to 4 T/s, has been developed and manufactured by Bochvar Institute (VNIINM). The wire was fabricated by a single stacking method. Each filament was surrounded by a matrix of commercial MN‐5 alloy (Cu‐5wt.%Ni). The effects of heat treatment regimes, and twist pitches within the range of 3.5 – 8 mm on Jc of the strand were investigated at fields of 2–8 T. The critical current density is more than 2700 A/mm2 at 5 T, 4.2 K. The magnetization of wire has been measured by a vibrating magnetometer at field amplitude up to ± 3 T. Hysteresis losses and effective diameter were calculated. Total and coupling losses have been determined by Fitz method on strand magnetization at fields, varying in trapezoidal mode. It was shown that the wire of this type is of potential application for the use in the magnets of the GSI‐type accelerator to be constructed in Germany.
