Abstract: A low-matrix-ratio [Nb.sub.3]Al wire is fabricated and the effects of the rapid heating/quenching (RHQ) current and the area reduction (AR) after the RHQ process are studied. The studies have shown that the optimum RHQ current to obtain high [J.sub.c] is the current at the higher edge of the plateau region and the AR process has affected the transformation process that has determined the quality of the A-15 phase.
