Definition: production process of Nb3Sn superconducting wires in which a compact formed from Nb powder is dipped into a Sn bath to infiltrate the compact with Sn

Note 1 to entry: Area-reducing processes such as wire drawing or rolling are done to produce a thin wire. This is followed by heat-treatment to form Nb3Sn compounds.

Note 2 to entry: A similar process is used for Nb3Al superconducting wires.
