title = "Nb3A1 formation process in powder metallurgy processed wires and sputtered multilayer films",
abstract = "The formation process of Nb3A1 by a solid state reaction between Nb and Al is examined for both powder metallurgy processed wires and sputtered multilayer films. It is turned out that the diffusion of Al into Nb layer plays an important role in the formation process of Nb3A1, but the extremely thin Nb thickness is not necessarily needed for the solid state reaction on the basis of the study on multilayered films. We discuss on the relationship between the Nb layer thickness and the areal reduction ratio to the Nb3A1 formation in the powder metallurgy process.",

note = "Funding Information: It is turned out that the A1 diffusion is enhanced by an areal reduction ratio in the solid state reaction for Nb3A1. It is more important for powder metallurgy processed wires to optimize the heat treatment rather than to reduce the Nb filament diameter extremely. Acknowledqements We would like to thank E. Suzuki and Y. Kamisada of Showa Electrical Wire and Cable Company for their preparation of powder metallurgy prossed wires. We also acknowledge Drs. Y. Watanabe, K. Takanashi, S. Oki and S. Miura for helpful suggestion in the X-ray measurement.
